Former Denmark defender Morten Bruun believes a lack of first-team football at Leeds United is damaging Rasmus Kristensen’s international career. An underwhelming start to the campaign saw the 25-year-old dropped shortly after the World Cup break.
Luke Ayling returned to the side for the trip to Newcastle United on New Year’s Eve - and has started every Premier League game since. Kristensen arrived as a Jesse Marsch protege, with the American signing him at Red Bull Salzburg before doing the same three years later at Leeds.
Long-serving stalwart Ayling was set to leave Leeds this summer but his upturn in form resulted in Leeds chiefs offering him a new deal last month. Kristensen, who burst onto the scene at Ajax before his move to Austria, last featured in the 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Fulham and is yet to adapt to Premier League life.
