Fit to face United Norgaard (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's match against Manchester United, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Picks up injury with Denmark Norgaard suffered an injury in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Spain, according to his national team.
Impact Norgaard has been dealt an unfortunate situation over the break, as he has been ruled out for Denmark's second match due to injury. The extent of his issues is unknown, with him possibly being rested after just returning from an injury. Either way, this puts his availability for Saturday's match against Manchester United in doubt. He is a regular starter, so if he isn't an option, expect Mathias Jensen or Fabio Carvalho to take his spot.

Impact Norgaard looks to be on the mend after missing the club's last match due to a "minor injury." It appears he will likely be held to a fitness test ahead of the match to decide his availability.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Takes three shots in win Norgaard had three off-target shots, created one chance and made two tackles (both won), two clearances, one interception and one block during Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton.
Impact Norgaard displayed his usual tenacity in the middle of the park but this time he also tried to contribute offensive by going up the field and step into opposition's box to finish plays. Games like this one are more probable to be outliers again this season, though, as the midfielder is mostly known for his production on the defensive end.
SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Active display in win Norgaard created one chance and made three tackles (one won), three clearances and three interceptions during Sunday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
Impact Norgaard bossed the middle of the park like he's used to do, providing some much needed help for a defense that withstood pressure during most of the contest. The midfielder can occasionally have some input on the attacking end but his disruptive approach without the ball is definitely what gives him most fantasy upside.

However, that is still not clear, with the club not releasing much on the player's status lately.
APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE
Won't be available Saturday Norgaard (back) is "progressing well but won't be available this weekend" to face Manchester United, manager Thomas Frank told media Friday.

The club will now hold their breath as they await his results after the match, hoping not to lose a regular starter and their captain. He was replaced by Mathias Jensen, who will most likely be Norgaard's replacement if he misses time, with Mikkel Damsgaard also possibly filling in.
