Mikkel Damsgaard

[nick logan]

It is more about the schedule than the competition.

Yes, players can get injured in training, but games are far more intense and it is very early in the season to be asking outfield players (any players) to play four times in 10 days .

We do not know for sure yet about MD, hopefully ok or a minor knock, but he played 254 minutes in seven days across three games and if not injured would have played in a 4th, a couple of days later. That was too much IMO (hindsight is a wonderful thing!) and in Denmark's case, Brian Riemer was very slow to make substitutions, making only one that wasn't for an injury before the 75th minute.

Yep Ajer plays every minute , as does Collins .

Of course a snidey 6 player would be rotated

 

[andyrew]

He was riddled with arthritis and not worthy of a first team place a few weeks ago on here but now he's played well for erm Denmark in the erm Nations league

Agreed, he's massively overrated , but I would rather he was mercilessly hacked down illuminating a drab game for us than fulfilling pointless Denmark fixture. After all, we're trying to qualify for Europe ffs!

One is a Viking and the other Irish. MD is an artist!

Ajer shouldn't have played 360+ minutes in 10 days either!

I know we are and nobody wants it more than me !
I just don't agree the Nations League is pointless and so it seems neither do the players and full stadiums .
The old friendly system was stupid , now there are rewards for progress and doing well .

 

[North London Bee]

I am more than happy with the competition per se but not the level of intensity of having to play four times in so short a period of time.

 

[TorbayBee]

Sorry to divert the conversation but any news on his injury?

No, only unsourced speculation. @Banana has provided something, maybe that's the most informed view, who knows.

 

[Dazza]

I seriously doubt if he would have been hacked down so deliberately, viciously and maliciously in training!

Obviously but I also never said the exact same injury just that he could just as easily got hurt even without being on international break

 

[Edmundo]

Any more posts that aren't about our Danish wonder will be removed.

[aawharris]

Like who ?

Bellingham
Kane
Yamal
Mbappe
De Bryune

i could go on

You could also go with the likes of Palmer etc that flake out of it.
Some players like Dams and Ajer want to play every game for their country, some are only interested in the competitive ones.

On a scale of how bad this is, where transfrmarket are correct is 10/10

I would say it's 0.7/10

If 90 days is 10/10, then 0.7/10 makes it 6 days. So, back in a week then.

hopefully. Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to injuries.

 

[Bigbee]

all the talk about too much footie for Dams , he would of been fine if he hadnt been hacked down from behind

 

[Gee Bee]

And a few weeks back many wanted more minutes from him

 

[Gazza Bee]

If he misses a week or two we can cope with Fabio probably coming in (assuming Jensen is not back for Villa).

Jensen must be very close but for an away game, I think we'd start with Vitaly, Yarmo and Sangare.

Unlikely MJ would start even if "fully fit".
Hopefully will get 2nd half minutes, and be available to start v Liverpool.

 

[Edmundo]

Please discuss who plays instead of Damsgaard when he's injured elsewhere!

Where Ed?

 

[Edmundo]

Where Ed?

In the thread for the upcoming match, perhaps?

 

[Windmill Rd Bee]

He’s walking, which is surely a good sign so soon after the injury.

Don't know why, but the fact that, amongst the fashionista footballers, Mikkel Damsgaard usually looks like a substitute Geography teacher, makes me like him even more.

 

[Banana]

In his wheelchair

 

[filmyfan]

Obviously lost his left hand

 

[Banana]

Not FIVE minutes later!!!

The danish way, strike me as very money conscious rather than flashy and materialistic

Subtle CK jumper, nice and understated.

 

[Beecareful]

Here in our tiny spec of South Africa, (Knysna 34 South) are quite a number of Danes who escape the dark winter months on their homeland. They pack the local sports & tapas bar for Danish matches on TV and are all big Daamsgard fans.

Should be good for the weekend though, right?

His washbag is conspicuous by its absence though! Maybe implies he's popped in for some treatment rather than training...

Would imagine he's got the lads all playing maptap before training

Probably dealt with separately by a Head of Washbags.

I thought the same.

 

[Lozza]

Thiago also seems to be washbagless. Maybe they leave spare toothbrush and deodorant at the training ground as a contingency for the mornings they come straight-in from clubbing?

 

[nick logan]

I thought the same.

they would leave their items at the training ground not take them home every day i guess

 

[Leonardo]

I'm sure on the tour Janelt did with German TV crew there was lockers they each had so they will obviously leave stuff in there. I'm sure when you were at school you didn't take your PE kit home every day

No and it used to stink by the end of term!

Oh so you had that smelly locker

The socks I will grant were a bit cheesy smelling ...

Love all this Dams wash bag chat, great work everyone

One more sleep until football is back, thank God.

Yeah, but everyone else seemed to be arriving with one, apart from Mikkel. I hope I'm concerned unnecessarily.

 

[Banana]

It was "take 2" after he had removed his plastic boots. Obviously.

 

[Gee Bee]

Too big and had to leave it in drop off zone

 

[hanworthbee]

Maybe he prefers to shower at home. When I played Sunday league most preferred that although I felt it was a bit odd and not nice to drive home dirty

Was in the hold , too big for cabin

Wash bag watch

Probably can afford 2 of each. I have a bathroom bag I keep in my gym bag and another I keep in my wardrobe for when I go away. But I am a f***ing idiot and will forget to put it back in my gym bag if I also took it away for the weekend. I also have other stuff in the bathroom for every day use.
