Denmark, Superliga, Midtjylland – Brøndby 2:3
Ferhan Hasani was not included in the Brøndby squad due to an injury. This was an interesting decision because Ferhan was summoned in the prior game (ultimately didn’t play), but he was missing from the squad for this fixture on Monday. Still, earlier on Thursday, Hasani found his name on the Macedonian squad for the qualifier against Slovakia. So, it appears that his injury is not a major concern.
