Hojlund could debut for Man Utd against Arsenal

Denmark revealed on Tuesday their 23-man squad for the September international break, which will see them face San Marino and Finland in qualifiers for Euro 2024.

Several names familiar to Premier League fans appeared on the list, including Tottenham's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Manchester United's Christian Eriksen.

Another notable inclusion was striker Rasmus Hojlund, who joined Eriksen at Old Trafford this summer, but has yet to appear for Erik ten Hag's team due to a stress fracture in his back picked up in pre-season before his move.

His selection bodes well as to the state of his fitness, and Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand revealed there is a deal with the Premier League club: "I have some clear agreements with the club. He [Hojlund] should preferably get some minutes so that we can see that he’s there", said the coach.

"He lacks game time, that’s clear, but he’s going to play a role [for Denmark], so we’ll have to see what he can do", he continued.

In the best case scenario, United fans would see their new star in action for the first time over the weekend as they travel down to London to face historic rivals Arsenal on matchday 4.
