POLICY WIRE — Herning, Denmark — Professional footballer Alamara Djabi is now in a stable condition following two urgent surgical procedures after a recent stabbing.
The 19-year-old athlete underwent critical operations in the aftermath of a violent assault that occurred early Sunday morning. Djabi, a midfielder for the Danish club FC Midtjylland, was attacked in the city of Herning.
Initially placed in a medically induced coma, Djabi has since regained consciousness following his surgical interventions. His club has confirmed that the talented midfielder’s current health status is stable.
Club’s Statement and Ongoing Investigation
In an official statement released via The Mirror, FC Midtjylland confirmed the severe injury to Alamara Djabi due to a stabbing and his subsequent stabilization after two operations. The club further indicated that Djabi has awakened from the induced coma and is doing as well as can be expected given the circumstances.
“He has woken up from an induced coma and is doing well under the circumstances. FC Midtjylland is in close dialogue and collaboration with the authorities and supports him and his family. Out of respect for the police’s ongoing investigation, including witness interviews and investigations, we have no further comments. We ask for the public’s understanding and call for respect for the privacy of Alamara Djabi and his loved ones in this difficult situation.”
The club emphasized its close cooperation with authorities and its commitment to supporting Djabi and his family throughout this challenging period. They also requested privacy for the player and his loved ones, deferring further comments due to an ongoing police investigation.
Danish law enforcement officials have also issued a public appeal for information, seeking a 20-year-old male with a fair complexion and short dark hair, believed to be connected to the incident that took place around 3:30 AM on Sunday.

Djabi’s Career Trajectory and Club’s Season
Born in Guinea-Bissau, Djabi has made one substitute appearance for Midtjylland this season, featuring against KuPS in UEFA Europa League qualifying. He was also named among the substitutes for matches against major European clubs such as Celtic, Roma, Genk, and Dinamo Zagreb in the main competition.
During the previous season, Djabi gained valuable experience during a loan spell with Portuguese second-division side Mafra. He officially made his senior debut for Midtjylland in the 2023-24 season, having advanced through the club’s youth academy.
FC Midtjylland, four-time Danish champions, are currently in a fierce contest for the Superliga title, last securing the championship in 2024. They hold second place behind Aarhus Gymnastikforening (AGF), whom they are scheduled to face in a potentially decisive match this Sunday.
The club is also remembered for its memorable 2-1 victory over Manchester United in the 2016 Europa League knockout stages. While United ultimately advanced after a 5-1 return leg win, the fixture is notably recalled for Marcus Rashford’s debut brace.
