Ajax defender Van der Wiel edging closer towards comeback after three month injury layoff

The Netherlands international has been out of action since December 2011, but has seemingly recovered from a knock and is expected to rejoin the squad's practices



Ajax coach Frank de Boer has received some encouraging news from the treatment table as right-back Gregory van der Wiel is poised to return to the training pitch on Monday after a three-month injury lay-off, Voetbal International reports.

The Netherlands international sustained a groin injury in December 2011 and has not featured in an official game for the Eredivisie champions since the 4-0 league win at home over ADO Den Haag.Van der Wiel is now on his way back, though, and the 24-year-old is expected to take part in group training again next week.

Ajax are hopeful that the defender, who has made a total of 121 Eredivisie appearances for the club, could return to match action early next month, with the home game against Heracles on April 1 a realistic comeback date.Van der Wiel is continually being linked with a summer move to Valencia and has already agreed personal terms with the Liga side. Nevertheless, both clubs have yet to agree on a transfer fee. - http://www.goal.com
