Gregory van der Wiel to make injury comeback with Jong Ajax

The Dutchman's frustrating recovery from a groin injury is set to come to an end as he is expected to feature for the reserves on Monday

Gregory van der Wiel is set to make his long-awaited Ajax comeback with the reserve team, the club's official website has confirmed.

The right-back is yet to play in 2012 after picking up a groin injury, and has suffered several frustrating setbacks in the course of his recovery.

Van der Wiel recently resumed training, and although his side's clash with Heracles on Sunday comes to soon, the 24-year-old will feature for Jong Ajax on Monday.

Meanwhile, another sidelined star, Kolbein Sigthorsson, made his return for the reserves last Monday, playing for the first time since October.

The Amsterdam club will look to keep up their bid to retain their Eredivisie title when they entertain Heracles on Sunday.

Frank de Boer's men currently sit in second place, a solitary point behind AZ with seven rounds of the league campaign remaining.
