Squad

Thomas Delaney damages knee ligaments — 35 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 35 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Dominik Kotarski keeps FC Copenhagen in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

FC Copenhagen say no — this time

The offer from Austin FC for Theo Sander was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Mohamed Elyounoussi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mohamed Elyounoussi and FC Copenhagen agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Nobody wants to play FC Copenhagen right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Junnosuke Suzuki

Defensive actions: 24. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Tempers go at FC Copenhagen

Mohamed Elyounoussi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

8 academy players handed senior numbers at FC Copenhagen

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market

FC Copenhagen promote Lasse Olsen from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Lasse Olsen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
