FC Midtjylland winger Rilwan Hassan has undergone an operation after breaking his fibula in two places last weekend against Hobro in the Danish Superliga.

If he does not suffer a relapse during his recovery from the injury, the 24 - year - old will play his first game for The Wolves when they tackle AaB at the end of February.

“The surgery went well , and now he has the leg in plaster for a week . Then he will have a special boot on for five weeks , before embarking on a lengthy rehabilitation,” Hassan’s agent, Klaus Granlund, told bold.dk.

“Of course you never say never, but no one expects that he gets to be with the team again in the fall .

“He comes usually very quick , let ’s see now , but it is not realistic that he gets to play this year.”

Rilwan Hassan is spending his seventh consecutive season with the first team of FC Midtjylland.
