Player to watch – Oliver Sorensen

Midfielder Oliver Sorensen enjoyed a productive weekend in the final third when scored both of Midtjylland’s goals in their Danish Super Liga fixture at Nordsjælland on Saturday and the 22-year-old should be brimming with confidence following his brace.

Sorensen a key player for Danes

Oliver Sorensen showcased his sharpness at the weekend when the bagged two goals in one sitting in the Danish league and the schemer’s box-crashing runs from deep could be a feature of Midtjylland’s clash with Santa Coloma on Wednesday.
