Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen have withdrawn from Denmark’s upcoming matches against Slovenia and Northern Ireland due to injuries sustained while playing for Manchester United.

Hojlund and Eriksen were injured during United’s Premier League match against Luton Town, which the Red Devils won 1-0 courtesy to a goal from Victor Lindelof in the 59th minute.

Eriksen was allowed to go after 40 minutes with an apparent knee injury, while Hojlund was taken out in the second half with a hamstring problem.

This season, Hojlund and Eriksen are not the only Manchester United players who have been injured. Due to injuries and sickness, Erik ten Hag has been without Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia.

Given that the Red Devils are entering the busiest phase of the season, the manager will be anxious to have Hojlund and Eriksen back on the field as soon as possible.

As a result, it’s no surprise that both Hojlund and Eriksen have withdrawn from international duty with Denmark, missing the country’s scheduled games against Slovenia and Northern Ireland later this month.

Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand has chosen to replace Hojlund and Eriksen with Napoli star Jesper Lindstrom and Trabzonspor defender Jens Stryger Larsen in their Euro Qualifiers.
