Sweden midfielder Kristoffer Olsson on ventilator in hospital
Midtjylland said the ex-Arsenal player, 28, is "suffering from what appears to be an acute brain-related illness".
The Danish club announced he was taken to Aarhus University Hospital on 20 February.
Midtjylland said they felt "compelled" to release an update due to "increasing rumours and speculation about Kristoffer Olsson's recent absence".
"Everyone in FC Midtjylland is of course deeply affected by Kristoffer's sudden illness," the club said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Kristoffer Olsson is suffering from what appears to be an acute brain-related illness, which is neither due to self-inflicted harm of any kind nor due to external factors.
"A team of leading Danish medical experts are currently working under pressure to make a diagnosis and initiate the correct treatment."
Olsson came through Arsenal's youth academy and made one appearance for the Gunners before he joined Midtjylland permanently midway through the 2014-15 Premier League season.
Arsenal said on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Get well soon, Kristoffer. We wish you a full and speedy recovery."
