Attention! Sporting star called up, but misses the World Cup | OneFootball

Denmark has already announced the squad list for the June friendlies, and there is one name once again taking center stage in the group: Morten Hjulmand, Sporting’s midfielder and one of the most influential figures in the national team coached by Brian Riemer.

The Sporting captain retains his status as a key reference in the Danish midfield and is once again included in the squad, at a time when the national team is preparing two test matches against opponents outside the context of the 2026 World Cup.

The 26-year-old player appears as one of the pillars of the group, internally seen as an extension of the coach on the pitch, thanks to his leadership, organization, and balance in midfield. In addition to the Sporting player, the list also includes Victor Froholdt, from Porto, and Alexander Bah, from Benfica, reinforcing the presence of players who compete in the Portuguese league.

On June 3, Denmark face the Democratic Republic of the Congo, one of Portugal’s opponents in Group K, in a match played in Belgium, before returning to Danish soil to take on Ukraine on June 7 in Odense.

Even so, all eyes within the Danish setup once again turn to Hjulmand. It is worth remembering that the midfielder is on his way out, and his destination could be Real Madrid.
