Ajax interim manager John Heitinga has revealed that Ghanaian star Mohammed Kudus will be available for their Dutch Eredivisie Round 31 game against AZ Alkmaar on Saturday night.

The 22-year-old midfielder has missed the Dutch giants' last four games due to an injury that has sidelined him for about a month now.

He had to come off after an hour in their Dutch Cup semifinal on April 9, a game they won 2-1 but ultimately lost the final on penalties to PSV Eindhoven this past weekend.

Mohammed Kudus returned to training with the group but missed that game due to a lack of game fitness.

Speaking after the penalty shootout defeat, Heitinga said that Kudus would train to regain fitness for a week and be ready for the game against AZ Alkmaar.

"He won't make it to this match because of his injury. I think he can be there next week after a good and full training week."

Kudus has been involved in 20 goals and assists for Ajax this season in all competitions
