Midtjylland midfielder Alamara Djabi was stabbed in Herning early Sunday morning, leaving him in critical condition. The 19‑year‑old from Guinea‑Bissau joined the club from Benfica’s academy in 2023 and has made only two senior appearances. He was taken to a local hospital for emergency surgery and the team confirmed he is now undergoing intensive care.

After the initial operation, Djabi underwent a second procedure as doctors addressed complications from the wound. Midtjylland’s medical staff reported that he has emerged from an induced coma and his condition is now stable, thanks to swift emergency response and hospital care. The club has expressed gratitude towards responders and pledged full support for his recovery.

Djabi’s absence removes a young talent from a squad that finished the season as Danish Superliga champions in 2024 and currently sits second, two points behind AGF. His injury could influence Midtjylland’s depth in the Europa League qualifiers and the upcoming domestic campaign. The club will need to adjust its midfield rotation in the coming fixtures.

The incident has drawn a wave of support from fans and players alike, with social media campaigns urging peace and safety for athletes. Midtjylland’s management has promised to keep Djabi’s family informed and will continue to monitor his progress closely as he battles a severe physical setback and remain optimistic.
