Manchester United will be watching the developments in the Danish national camp closely.
Even before pre-season began, Rasmus Hojlund expressed how excited he was to get started for Manchester United in 2024/25.
It took Hojlund just 15 minutes of pre-season to pick up an injury, which has led to him starting only two matches so far since returning.
Hojlund has scored once this season so far, and is currently on international duty with Denmark.
Rasmus Hojlund latest
Rasmus Hojlund is being treated with extra care during international duty, enough to perhaps warrant a little concern.
Danish outlet Bold reports Rasmus Hojlund was one of two players to sit out Sunday’s training session entirely, along with Joakin Maehle.
Their report adds that both players have had issues with injuries this season and their absence may be precautionary, without being able to state a definitive reason.
Denmark’s next fixture is away against Switzerland on Tuesday evening.
Hojlund a late substitute
Rasmus Hojlund was a substitute in Denmark’s 1-0 defeat to Spain and played just the final 12 minutes.
Denmark’s manager insisted Hojlund is fully fit, with Lars Knudsen telling Tipsbladet ‘there is a sharp competitive situation right now’ in attack.
Nonetheless, Hojlund’s absence from training suggests he might not be at 100 per cent, and there is some careful load management taking place, perhaps in agreement with Manchester United.
Hojlund will be needed to play a big role for United later this month, with fixtures against Brentford, Fenerbahce, West Ham, and Leicester City.
United have failed to score in four of the past five Premier League matches, with Hojlund looking for his first league strike.
