Brondby wins opener, but questions surround absent players | F. Alves

Brondby started the summer test matches with a convincing 8-1 win over Hvidovre. But behind the goal-rich win, several interesting questions were hidden. Four players were not part of the squad: Nicolai Vallys, Frederik Alves, Emmanuel Dennis and Emmanuel Yeboah.

What happened?

Brondby has not disclosed the reason for the absences. This makes the situation around Yeboah particularly interesting. The Ghanaian striker has been seen in pictures from Brondby's training since the start.

Why is it important for Brondby?

Nicolai Vallys has also not been part of the squad, but in a video clip from Brondby's training, the offensive player has been seen kicking. Frederik Alves, on the other hand, was not seen training in the pictures and clips that Brondby has shared since the start.

What comes next?

At the same time, there was another choice that caught attention. Sean Klaiber started inside and got 45 minutes on the pitch, even though Thomas Nørgaard had previously made it clear that the Dutchman is not part of Brondby's future plans. There may be completely natural explanations for all four absences. Minor injuries, individual training programs or load management are obvious possibilities.
