FC Midtjylland will be without Nigerians Izunna Uzochukwu and Rilwan Hassan for the Jutland derby against Viborg on Saturday.

While midfielder Uzochukwu is suspended for the home game following his dismissal in the clash against Esbjerg, compatriot Rilwan Hassan is still recovering from injury.

But manager Riddersholm has included two other Nigerian players - strikers Sylvester Igboun and Paul Onuachu - in his preliminary 19 - man roster named on Friday.

Having amassed 20 points from their first 8 matches, FCM occupy the first position in the standings.

Sylvester Igboun is their top scorer in the league with five strikes.
