Oliver Abildgaard Nielsen (born 10 June 1996) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Italian Serie A side Como.

Club career

AaB

Abildgaard was promoted to AaB's first team squad in the summer of 2015 along with Jannik Pohl from the AaB U19 squad.[1]

On 20 July 2015, he made his first team-debut against Esbjerg at the age of 19.[2] He was in the starting lineup and was responsible for a penalty that gave Esbjerg the lead, but he also scored the equalizing goal. The match ended 1–1.[3] On 9 September 2015, he made his Danish Cup debut when he was in the line-up against the local rivals from Vendsyssel FF.[citation needed]

Rubin Kazan

On 3 February 2020, it was confirmed that Abildgaard had joined Russian club FC Rubin Kazan on a loan until 30 June 2020 with an option to buy.[4] On 20 June 2020, AaB confirmed that Rubin activated the purchase option and Abildgaard joined Rubin on a permanent basis until 30 June 2024.[5]

On 1 September 2022, Abildgaard moved on loan to Celtic in Scotland for the 2022–23 season.[6][7] Due to lack of playing time, Abildgaard's loan spell at Celtic was terminated and on transfer deadline day, 31 January 2023, he joined Italian Serie A club Hellas Verona on a loan-deal for the remainder of the season.[8]

Como

On 12 July 2023, Abildgaard joined Italian Serie B club Como 1907 on a three-year deal.[9]
