Mathias 'Zanka' Jørgensen has signed a short-term contract with FC Copenhagen, marking his fourth spell at the club. The former national team player joins to address the team's current defensive shortages, specifically for two upcoming matches, as well as for the remainder of the season. The coaching staff at FC Copenhagen, led by head coach Jacob Neestrup, emphasizes the need for additional players in the center-back position to maintain their chances of qualifying for European football in the next season.

The urgency in signing Zanka comes as the team faces several injury and suspension challenges within their defense. Junnosuke Suzuki is currently sidelined due to injury, and Pantelis Hatzidiakos is serving a suspension. These absences leave Gabriel Pereira as the only available central defender, underscoring the pressing need for Zanka’s experience and skill to enhance the team's defensive options during this critical period.

At 35 years old, Jørgensen has a wealth of experience, having played 303 matches for FC Copenhagen since his debut in 2007. He expresses confidence in his ability to contribute positively to the team, stating his respect for the current situation and his strong belief that he can help uplift the squad. This move is significant not only for Zanka personally but also for FC Copenhagen as they strive to secure a strong finish to their season amid challenges.
