Rasmus Kristensen has admitted being dropped from the Denmark squad hurt after scoring his first Leeds United goal. An announcement in midweek confirmed the 25-year-old will miss upcoming clashes against Finland and Denmark.
A lack of first-team opportunities at Leeds forced Danish coach Kasper Hjulmand to drop Kristensen, who has 13 international caps. The right-back, signed last summer from Red Bull Salzburg, has not started a game since the clash against Manchester City on December 28.
However, Kristensen was called into action from the bench just days after suffering his international setback. Javi Gracia’s faith was repaid as the defender put in arguably his best performance in a Whites shirt.
