South Korea defender Kim Min-jae is set to face Ghana forward Mohammed Kudus in the UEFA Champions League game between Napoli and Ajax.

It will be the duo first meeting between the two players whose countries have been paired in the same group at the 2022 World Cup tournament in Qatar.

Ajax will play host to Napoli at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Tuesday night in matchday 3 of the Champions League.

The South Korean is expected to take notes on the in-form attacker before the teams break camp in November for the World Cup in Qatar.

The Black Stars midfielder is set to start against Napoli tonight after making substitute appearance on Saturday in Ajax 1-1 draw against Go Ahead Eagles.

Kudus has been in a rich vein of form for Ajax this season scoring 7 goals and providing 1 assist in 11 matches.

He has excelled in the first two Champions League games for Ajax, scoring against Rangers and Liverpool respectively.
