Overview
- Copenhagen host Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Oct. 21, marking the forward’s first meeting with his former club since his transfer.
- Recent league selections have limited him to the bench, with four consecutive substitute appearances of no more than 17 minutes.
- Coverage notes he has been starting midweek fixtures, and tonight’s lineup is viewed as a gauge of rotation strategy versus a slide down the pecking order.
- He told kicker he is his biggest critic and said adapting to playing every three days has been difficult after rarely completing 90 minutes in recent seasons.
- Ran reports he chose Copenhagen over Bundesliga options to revive his career, yet a 0–2 defeat to Qarabag highlighted his modest influence to date.
