Sand said during Thursday's game that the 23-year-old's ankle was "vulnerable" to additional deterioration due to his recent injuries.
He told TV2, “It was much of the same that happened against Bournemouth a week-and-a-half ago. He has had it before, too.

“He gets a slight twist in his ankle, where he is a bit vulnerable. It hurts a lot right away, and then it goes away pretty quickly. Then we'll see tomorrow how he is then.”
