Patrick Dorgu a major doubt for Denmark's World Cup playoff - potentially against Ireland

Ireland are unlikely to face Manchester United’s in-form Patrick Dorgu in the World Cup playoff final after the Denmark international was ruled out for 10 weeks.

Both nations were drawn in the same pathway to the summer finals, meaning a victory for Ireland in Czechia on March 26 and Denmark beating North Macedonia would set up a decider at Lansdowne Road three days.
