Esbjerg will be without the services of in-form striker Mohammed Dauda for Sunday's clash against Hobro due to suspension.
The Ghana youth international has accumulated yellow cards and will have to serve a one-match ban.
Dauda has been in top form for the relegation-threatened side after scoring in two successive matches in the relegation playoffs.
The on-loan Anderlecht player has a total of four goals in 19 league appearances.
He is expected to be handed a permanent deal if the club survive relegation.
