Djabi has made two appearances for FC Midtjylland’s first team. His most recent came in the final Europa League qualifying round, when he was subbed on late against Finnish side KuPS in August 2025.

Central and West Jutland Police were searching for 20-year-old Moussa Habib Jensen on Monday afternoon in connection with the stabbing.

As of Tuesday morning, he had not yet been found, police said.

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