October 11th 2024.
Lars Knudsen recently received a message from his fellow footballer, Rasmus Hojlund, who plays for Manchester United. In the message, Hojlund urged Knudsen, who is currently the caretaker coach for the Danish team, not to give him a full 90-minute playtime during their upcoming game against Spain. Hojlund's concern stems from his recent struggles with hamstring injuries, which have limited his playing time.
Due to his injuries, Hojlund had to sit out the first four Premier League games of the season and has only appeared in five matches across all competitions in the current season, 2024-25. Despite this, the 21-year-old is currently with the Danish team as they prepare for a tough match against the reigning European champions, Spain, on Saturday. However, in a press conference before the game, Hojlund expressed his reservations about playing a full 90 minutes, stating that he doesn't want to risk another injury by rushing his recovery.
Hojlund also shared that his body is feeling better now, and he may be physically ready to play a full game. However, he also understands the importance of using his brain and making wise decisions for his long-term health. Therefore, he believes that playing the entire game against Spain may not be the best idea at the moment.
Hojlund's importance for his country cannot be denied, as he has scored seven goals in 18 appearances for Denmark. But it seems that he is prioritizing his fitness for his club, Manchester United, who will be playing against Brentford on October 19. United has had a tough start to the season, winning only two out of their first seven Premier League games, which has put their manager, Erik ten Hag, under significant pressure. There have been rumors circulating that ten Hag could soon lose his job.
Adding to United's injury woes, it was reported on Thursday that Lisandro Martinez may also be carrying a knock. This news comes on the heels of other injury concerns that have emerged during the international break. Martinez's fellow countryman, Alejandro Garnacho, had to withdraw from the Argentina squad due to a knee problem, while Kobbie Mainoo also pulled out of the England squad. Even Amad Diallo, who was with the Ivory Coast team, had to return to Manchester early due to an injury.
It's clear that United is facing a mounting injury crisis, and the team's fans are eagerly waiting for updates on the players' conditions.
