Koeman shows the Mido touch as striker included

AJAX coach Ronald Koeman has included top scorer Mido in his squad for tonight’s Champions League match against Arsenal after the banned player apologised to him and the rest of the squad.

Koeman said that a meeting had taken place at the request of technical director Leo Beenhakker and the entire squad about the 19-year-old striker, who had been relegated to the youth team because of his poor attitude.

“The squad came to me to talk about the whole situation. Mido apologised to the group and to me,” Koeman said yesterday.
