Amsterdam — Ajax Amsterdam has confirmed that defender Aaron Bouwman will be unavailable for the remainder of September following injuries sustained during Saturday's match against PSV Eindhoven.
The 23-year-old centre-back suffered a bruised sternum and lung after a high challenge by PSV's Ruben van Bommel during the fixture. The Dutch club released a statement detailing the extent of the injury, which will require a period of recovery lasting through the end of the month.
The sidelining of Bouwman comes at a significant moment in Ajax's campaign, with the club navigating fixture congestion during the early autumn period. His absence will force manager Frank de Boer to adjust defensive arrangements in the coming weeks.
No timeline has been provided for Bouwman's return to full training, though the club will continue to monitor his condition as he progresses through his recovery programme.
