Alamara Djabi undergoes emergency surgeries after near-fatal stabbing

Alamara Djabi is in stable condition after undergoing two emergency surgeries following a violent stabbing incident in the Danish city of Herning, his club FC Midtjylland has confirmed.

The 19-year-old midfielder was left fighting for his life after sustaining serious injuries in what the club described as an extremely grave attack on Sunday.

Swift medical intervention proved decisive, with Djabi taken into emergency care where he underwent urgent surgery before requiring a second operation.

“The 19-year-old FC Midtjylland player was seriously injured in a stabbing and is now in stable condition after two operations. He has woken up from an induced coma and is doing well under the circumstances,” the club said in an official statement, adding that it remains in close contact with both authorities and the player’s family.

Further details from the club underscored the severity of the situation, revealing that Djabi’s condition had at one stage been critical.

“Alamara Djabi was subsequently in danger of dying and underwent emergency surgery. He has since undergone another operation, and after professional efforts from the rescue personnel and later hospital doctors, his condition is now stable.”

Djabi, a Guinea-Bissau youth international, joined Midtjylland in 2023 and has steadily progressed through the club’s ranks.

Though still at an early stage of his professional career, he has already made two appearances for the senior side, including a late cameo during a Europa League qualifying fixture against Finnish outfit KuPS in August 2025.

Off the pitch, he is known to share a close bond with compatriot and teammate Franculino Djú, the current Danish Superliga top scorer. The pair arrived at the club in the same year and have been regarded as part of a promising new generation within Midtjylland’s setup.

Meanwhile, Danish authorities have launched an active manhunt in connection with the attack. Police in Central and West Jutland have identified a 20-year-old suspect, Moussa Habib Jensen, who remains at large as investigations continue.

“He is still at large. The search has not yielded the results we had hoped for, and we are still investigating,” said police commissioner Susanne Kiel Nielsen.
