Leeds United defender Rasmus Kristensen starred for Denmark, as they were held 0-0 by Tunisia in their opening game of the 2022 World Cup.
Kristensen started at right-wing back as Kasper Hjulmand set-up in the 3-5-2 system that helped propel Denmark to the semi-finals of the 2020 European Championships.
The 25-year-old earned his 11th cap for the Red and Whites and has provided Jesse Marsch with an alternative option.
Kristensen has previously played at wing-back for Denmark and Red Bull Salzburg, where his offensive qualities came to the fore.

He was directly involved in 18 goals (10 goals and eight assists) for Red Bull Salzburg last season, but has registered just one assist in 12 appearances for Leeds this term.
The Whites defender has played at right-back in all of his games for Leeds, while Marsch has religiously fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation during his tenure.
Only once has the American set-up with a back-five, as Leeds lost 4-0 against Manchester City in their penultimate home game of last season, but it could provide the Leeds boss with decent alternative given how well Kristensen performed in a back five.
