FC Copenhagen’s striker, Andreas Cornelius, will be sidelined for the upcoming cup final against Silkeborg due to a hamstring injury. The injury occurred during Sunday’s 3-0 victory against FC Nordsjælland. The match is scheduled to take place on Thursday in Herning.

Cornelius sustained the injury shortly before halftime in the game against FC Nordsjælland. He anticipates that the injury will prevent him from participating in the cup final.

Despite the setback, Cornelius is focusing on the positive aspects of the situation. He mentioned that the timing of the injury allows him ample time to recover and prepare for the next season. He aims to return to the same level of performance he achieved at the end of the season.

Cornelius also expressed his satisfaction with FC Copenhagen’s Danish championship victory, achieved on the same Sunday. He emphasized the hard work and deserving nature of the team’s triumph. He acknowledged the challenges faced at the beginning of the season, including significant squad changes and instability, but highlighted the team’s progress and strong finish. FC Midtjylland finished only one point behind FCK in the league standings.

Cornelius reflected on his personal achievements, noting that this championship was the most challenging one he has won. He has now secured five championships and five cup titles during his career. He joked about the possibility of getting a star tattooed on his chest to commemorate the accomplishment, but remained noncommittal.

Having overcome a difficult start to the season, Cornelius became the preferred center forward for FCK during the championship playoffs. He expressed his gratitude for playing a crucial role in securing the championship. He acknowledged the quality and depth of the squad, emphasizing the ability of other players to step up when injuries occur.
