This follows a violent stabbing incident that occurred in the city of Herning, Denmark, in the early hours of Sunday, April 19.
Details of the Attack and Medical Response
The attack took place at approximately 3:30 AM local time, leaving the young footballer with serious injuries. In response to his critical condition, Djabi required two separate surgical operations.

The club emphasized its close cooperation with Danish authorities regarding the ongoing investigation. “FC Midtjylland is in close dialogue and collaboration with the authorities and supports him and his family,” the statement continued. Out of respect for the police investigation, which includes witness interviews and forensic analysis, the club has declined to provide further comments at this time.
