Serero had a storming start to the season in Holland, scoring three times in four matches, but then tore a groin muscle in a match against ADO Den Haag on September 23 and missed international friendlies against Poland and Kenya, as well as Champions League action against Manchester City, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
With an original return date of January mooted, there were also fears Serero would miss the Africa Cup of Nations. But not it seems the club are confident he will return sooner, and he is penciled in for reserve team football in a week's time.
"Thulani Serero will play not this Monday but next Monday at Ajax," De Boer was quoted by the club's official Twitter account.
The club is hoping the 22-year-old will be back in time for a League match against Willem II on December 16.
Following that Ajax play two more games before the Christmas break, so Serero will have little time to prove to Gordon Igesund that he is ready for the Afcon in January.

but the big mother club came in & threw it's weight and we lost this boy....
He shouldn't have gone to Amsterdam...
he has regressed as a footballer, the training methods there are inferior & detrimental to his health, this is his 3rd major injury since joining Amsterdam and worst of all he has missed out on being legend being spoken about in folklore for centuries to come for being a Double-Treble-Champion....
What an embarrasment Thulani Sekomoro is!
Up The Bucs until Jimmy Tau passes his 10yr Diploma... (a Degree is just asking for too much)
cHIVs (excuse the pun on World Aids Day) were unable to beat Ajax CT in Ajax's first three years of existence while they were the New Kids On The Block dancing all over you Chimps.
Stop farting inyongo ebolile lana!
Up The Bucs...
Parreira came nd failed with those players, Santana also failed with those players, Parreira came back again nd still failed with the very same players, Pitso also failed using those players, Komphela also failed with them...I wonder wat Gordon is doin with the very same players!!!
Bt we will still support Bafana Bafana as this myt b the last tym we see them in a AFCON, coz after this we will have to qualify nd we all knw hw difficult dat is 4 us
To the editors.... we need BowlOff site... the bowling from the Proteas this morning..... Sensational....!!!
The lefties couldn't handle Pieterson's spin bowling, nd the last catch was purely genius!!!
Myb Oscar myt change things...
Petersen's catch is just class... the second innings batting as well from the captain & Amla... delicious...
As long as Smith gets one good innings score we always win the match, plus Amla nd King Kallis can nd put on another one of their huge partnerships...we won't lose this one!!!
A big score is one the cards plus Morkel will be sniffing out those wickets come 2nd innings as he didn't participate much innings 1....
World no.1 will be retained in style...
beating bothe England & Australia away is a big deal...
