Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund criticised for injuring team-mate in training: 'That's rubbish' | OneFootball

Incident happened during Denmark training ahead of Euro 2024

Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen has revealed how Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund once knocked out his tooth on international duty.

The incident occurred during Denmark training ahead of Euro 2024, which saw Hermansen lose a tooth when Hojlund clattered into him during a set-piece session.

But while former England keeper Ben Foster was critical of Hojlund’s actions, Hermansen saw it differently.

“So we were with the national team just before the Euros, it was optional training, you could come in and train if you want. So let's do some corners.

“I go: ‘Keepers!’ And he just comes in with everything, elbow straight to my tooth. I took a corner off when I was younger as well so it was just the same bit of plastic.”

Foster laid the blame solely at Hojlund’s door, saying: “Cheers Rasmus, appreciate that. That's rubbish that. I'm not having that, it's poor.

“When you're doing it in a bit of practice set piece thing, you've got to take it easy. You can't go full-blooded like that.”

But Hermansen replied: “He is that kind of guy and I love that about him. He's giving everything, always. He's just got an exceptional way of being a professional.”
