So the plan was to sell him in the January window, but however, he stayed in the club.[5] Albers was not happy with his stay at Silkeborg because he sat to many minutes on the bench. He went out to medias in May 2017 and said, that it was his last season in Silkeborg and he would leave the club in the summer window.[6]
