Former Denmark star says defender’s club performances will cost him his national team place

Former Denmark star Morten Bruun insists that there are questions about Leeds United defender Rasmus Kristensen due to his lack of game-time.

Kristensen has been out of the team recently due to the form of Luke Ayling. The fullback has played in only one Premier League game for Leeds this year after playing in every one of Denmark’s matches last year, and two World Cup games.

Morten Bruum says Kristensen being on the bench recently has raised questions about his place in the national team:

“There was a great belief in Rasmus Nissen Kristensen.

“But doubts have arisen now, because Hjulmand does not want to select players who are decidedly reserves with their club team.”

Bruum believes Denmark Head coach Hjulmand is not likely to pick players who do not start at club level. Kristensen played 14 games for Leeds in the Premier League this season at the end of last year.
