FC Midtjylland was looking for a new second goalkeeper this summer, following Jonas Lössl's decision to end his career. The Danish club eventually signed Nordin Bakker, who moved from sc Heerenveen and signed a three-year contract. Bakker is likely to feature in the match against Ajax, given his recent transfer to FC Midtjylland. The match will be a significant encounter for Bakker, who will face his former team in the Conference League fixture. Bakker's transfer to FC Midtjylland has led to this unusual situation, where he will play against his former club.
