FC Utrecht's star midfielder Victor Jensen will be out for several months due to a hamstring injury sustained during the UEFA Europa League qualifier against Zrinjski Mostar. Jensen, born on February 8, 2000, is a 25-year-old Danish player who has been instrumental in FC Utrecht's success. He had an impressive start to the season, scoring 8 goals in 9 games across the Europa League qualifiers and Eredivisie.

The injury occurred when Jensen failed to control the ball in the first half against Zrinjski Mostar, and after attempting to adjust his position, he grabbed his hamstring in pain. Given the severity of the injury, Jensen's absence will significantly impact FC Utrecht's performance in the upcoming matches. The team's fans and management are likely hoping for his speedy recovery.

Initially, tests suggested Jensen would be out for weeks, but a second opinion revealed a more severe injury requiring extended recovery time.

“I am extremely disappointed that I will have to miss the upcoming European matches with FC Utrecht and my first call-up for the national team,” Jensen expressed on the club website. This setback comes after Jensen's impressive start to the season, scoring 8 goals in 9 games across the Europa League qualifiers and Eredivisie.

“It was a childhood dream, one that I will continue to work towards. I am happy that the team has done the job and qualified for the Europa League. In the coming period, I will do everything I can to be part of the team again soon,” he added.

FC Utrecht play their first Europa League game since 2011 on September 25th against Olympique Lyon in Utrecht.
