Ex-Fulham goalkeeper Jesse Joronen loses two teeth on Copenhagen debut, plays on anyway

The 26-year-old Finnish goalkeeper started his senior career at Fulham and enjoyed loan spells at a host of lower-league English clubsincluding Accrington Stanley, Cambridge and Maidenhead United.But it's been some rise since for Joronen, whocompleted a €875,000move to prestigious Superliga club Copenhagen this summer after impressing for league rivals Horsens.On Thursday night, Joronen got his first taste ofEuropean football–and certainlyhad a debut to remember. In the 88th minute, with Copenhagen seeing out a 1-1 drawat Telia Parken (2-1 on aggregate), he clattered into his own team-mateDenis Vavroand lost two teeth.But, being the tough guy he evidently is, Joronen played on regardless."I lost a couple of teeth, but I'm going to the dentist and it will be fine," the Finn told Copenhagen Sundays.The second legfinished a goal apiece, meaning Copenhagen will play their second-round qualifying first-leg tie againstIcelandic outfit Stjarnan on July 26.Joronen's name may have alreadyrunga bell: he once scored for Stevenage against Wycombe in October 2015 (below).See also...Photographer squashed by Mario Mandzukic Co. given free holiday by Croatia's tourist boardWatford send free replica shirts to fans who attended all 19 Premier League away games last season In Other News...
