FC Midtjylland beat FC Copenhagen 5-1 at Parken in the penultimate round of games to cement their position at the top of the Danish Superliga standings.

But in the course of the meeting, Rilwan Hassan broke his finger and he now faces up to six weeks on the sidelines.

“He put itself in position and played on, but afterwards we could see that something was wrong, ” says coach Glen Riddersholm to Herning Folkeblad.

Rilwan Hassan had surgery at Regionshospitalet Holstebro last week and will start rehabilitation in the next two weeks.

The 23 - year - old has recorded 9 appearances (3 starts) in the league this term.
