Ajax defender Aaron Bouwman out for September with bruised breastbone and lung after Van Bommel challenge

Monday, 7 September 2026, 06:58 · 1 min read

Ajax (the Amsterdam-based Dutch football club) defender Aaron Bouwman will miss the rest of September after sustaining a bruised breastbone and bruised lung during Saturday's Eredivisie top-of-the-table clash against PSV, which Ajax lost 3–1. The 19-year-old was hospitalised following a heavy challenge by PSV forward Ruben van Bommel and was kept in for observation on Sunday, ruling him out of upcoming fixtures against Fortuna Sittard, Willem II, and Excelsior. Van Bommel visited Bouwman in the Ajax dressing room after the match to apologise and was visibly distressed by the incident.
