A fracture rules Viktor Claesson out for 135 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Esbjerg will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Lasse Vigen: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Esbjerg have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Real improvement from John Kolawole at Esbjerg

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. John Kolawole is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Gustav Grubbe hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Esbjerg can pretend not to have heard.

Fear has settled over Esbjerg

Position 12, 9 points, and a crowd that arrives already braced. Relegation seasons are lost in exactly this atmosphere, and everybody who has lived through one recognises it immediately.

John Kolawole says Esbjerg went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Henrik Dalsgaard in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Esbjerg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Esbjerg come up short against AGF

AGF left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Lasse Vigen gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match28 Nov 2026

Muamer Brajanac answers AGF immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Muamer Brajanac had Esbjerg level again within 1 minutes, and AGF never got to play with a lead at all.

Rémy Riou left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Rémy Riou will call it something else in private.

Everybody has an opinion about Lasse Vigen

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.
