Amoo, 20, copped the injury during the team’s training camp in the Netherlands.

The former Golden Eaglets star missed Copenhagen’s friendlies against Feyenoord and Club Brugge as a result of the setback.

”Akinkunmi Amoo, unfortunately, sustained an injury during FC Copenhagen’s training camp in the Netherlands, which is why he didn’t participate in our friendly games against Feyenoord or Club Brugge,” the club confirmed.
