Team News: Jasper Cillessen starts for Ajax

By Sian Cowper, Reporter | 29 July 2015

Goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen starts for Ajax in their Champions League qualifier against Rapid Vienna, despite being linked with a move away from the club.

Goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has been included in Ajax's starting lineup for their Champions League qualifier against Rapid Vienna this evening.

It had been speculated that the Dutch international, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United, would be left out of the side so that he is not cup-tied.

New signings Mitchell Dijks and Nemanja Gudelj also start for the Eredivisie team, while Arsenal loanee Yaya Sanogo is among the substitutes.

The home side have also included one of their new summer signings, as Stephen Auer is among the back four, having joined on a free from Admira Wacker.

Robert Beric, who scored 27 goals in all competitions for the Austrian side last season, leads the attack for Zoran Barisic's side.

Rapid Vienna: Novota, Auer, Sonnleitner, M Hofmann, Stangl, Petsos, Schwab, Schobesberger, S Hofmann, Kainz, Beric
Subs: Strebinger, Dibon, Grahovac, Schaub, Huspek, Nutz, Alar

Ajax: Cillessen, Tete, Veltman, Riedewald, Dijks, Bazoer, Gudelj, Klaasen, Sinkgraven, El Ghazi, Milik
Subs: Boer, Van Rhijn, Heitinga, Fischer, Sanogo, Schone, Viergever
