Squad

Ezri Konsa damages knee ligaments — 31 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 31 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.

Market

Junnosuke Suzuki has said yes to Viborg

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. FC Copenhagen have lost him in all but the paperwork.

The dugout

Junnosuke Suzuki keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” FC Copenhagen may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings

Viktor Bjarki Daðason, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.17

A mark of 8.17 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings

Vintage Gaëtan Laborde — 8.54

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.54, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Copenhagen

Jayden Oosterwolde and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

Álex Berenguer was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at FC Copenhagen

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Viktor Bjarki Daðason

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

In brief
