De Boer suffered the injury during a game of ‘foot volley’ -- kicking the ball over a small net -- with his players following their 2-0 win over fellow title contenders PSV Eindhoven. Ajax hold a two-point lead over the champions with six rounds to be played. Ajax officials said De Boer may have an operation on Tuesday. It was not immediately clear whether the coach would recover in time to be back on the bench for Ajax’s next match at home to PEC Zwolle on April 3.
