Ajax confirmed the news on their website, stating that Dolberg suffered the injury while playing for the Danish national team. The 29-year-old striker is expected to be out for the remainder of the season. Voetbalzone reports that Dolberg's injury is covered by the FIFA Club Protection Programme, a type of insurance policy that has been in place since 2012. This programme allows a portion of a player's salary to be covered in the event of a long-term injury. However, a club is only eligible for this programme if the player is deemed to be temporarily fully unfit for work due to an injury sustained during a national team match, training session, or other related activity.
