Dani Agger has admitted that he considered the possibility of retiring from football following his pre-season back troubles.

Agger told Jyllandsposten: “My back was hurting so badly that I considered stopping playing,”

“I asked myself if it was worth continuing playing. When you can’t even lift your own child out of bed, then something is terribly wrong.”

Good to see Dani back fit. His ability not only as a defender, but also as a game breaker will be welcomed.
