Reigning Eredivisie champions AZ take on Belgian powerhouse Standard Liege in Alkmaar on Tuesday evening and head coach Ronald Koeman received some good news from the treatment table in the buildup to the game.

According to a report from ANP, the AZ gaffer does not have any injury worries ahead of the Champions League clash.

Argentinean goalie Sergio Romero, versatile midfielder Maarten Martens and holding midfielder David Mendes da Silva were all forced to watch this weekend's league match from the stands due to injury, but the trio are match fit in time for the game against Standard.

Romero was being plagued by knee trouble, Martens complained about an Achilles tendon problem, while Mendes was sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

AZ lost their first match in the group phase 1-0 against Olympiacos and will be keen to pick up the full three points against Standard Liege.
