West Ham United v Viborg FF: Danish side to be without two players due to visa issues

Danish side Viborg FF will be without two players for their visit to West Ham in the Europa Conference League play-off first leg because of visa issues.

Viborg said they had "tried everything" and consulted Danish football leaders, Uefa and embassies in both countries.

"We are extremely sorry that we have not been able to get visas for the two players," the club said in a statement.

"Unfortunately this has proved to be impossible, as there is a processing time of several weeks and the match was only finally decided a week ago," they added.

Nigerian winger Said scored in the Danish Superliga side's 2-0 aggregate win over Lithuanian opponents FK Suduva in the second qualifying round - and set up another as they beat Faroese club B36 Torshavn 5-1 over two legs in the third round.
