Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari has confirmed Vinicius Junior will play against Ajax on Wednesday evening.
Solari praised the 18-year-old, who has replaced Gareth Bale in recent weeks, ahead of the Champions League last-16 first leg tie in Amsterdam.
'His adaptation has been very fast,' manager Santiago Solari said.
'He has adapted to a new country, a new culture, a different type of football. He has shown his talent but we have to take care of him.'
Los Blancos boss could field the same starting 11 which beat Atletico Madrid at the weekend, leaving Bale on the sidelines, despite the Wales international scoring his 100th goal for the club.
The visitors are without Jesus Vallejo and Luca Zidane who are sidelined with hamstring injuries, while Marcos Llorente is ruled out with a groin issue and Isco has not recovered from a back and neck problem.
Sergio Ramos is expected to captain the side against Ajax in what will be his 600th appearance, seeing him move just one game behind club legends Fernando Hierro and Paco Gento in the club's all-time appearance list, and fourth behind Manolo Sanchis (710), Iker Casillas (725) and Raul Gonzalez (741).
The 32-year-old, who also skippers his country, has won 20 major honours during his 19 years at the Bernabau, after arriving in 2005 for 27 million euros (£23m), which remains a record fee for a Spanish teenager.
Solari said of the centre-back: "He has been and remains a fantastic captain.
"I think it's brilliant how he carries out his job as leader, which isn't an easy one."
