Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 11/22/2025
Aiming return after break
Tape (hamstring) is expected to resume training next week and is aiming a return after the international break, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in the press conference. "He's progressing better than expected. He'll resume training next week for his rehabilitation. I think he'll be back after the international break."
ANALYSIS
Tape is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a hamstring injury and is expected to return to training next week. The defender is aiming a return after the next international break and will be a nice boost in the backline of the Werkself since he started three of his five appearances this campaign and will likely hold a rotational role under coach Kasper Hjulmand. Lucas Vazquez and Arthur seem ahead of him in the hierarchy on the right flank.
