Official! Morten Hjulmand set to face his Sporting teammates | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand has been called up for the upcoming fixtures of the Danish national team. The Sporting captain was one of the 23 names selected by coach Kasper Hjulmand to represent his country in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

According to the announcement from the Nordic country’s football federation, the ‘number 42’ from the Alvalade club is included in the squad, alongside Kasper Schmeichel, Mads Hermansen, Jannik Vestergaard, Joachim Andersen, Andreas Christensen, Lucas Hogsberg, Rasmus Nissen Kristensen, Anton Gaaei, Patrick Dorgu, Joakim Maehle, Victor Froholdt, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Matt O’Riley, Mikkel Damsgaard, Albert Gronbaek, Anders Dreyer, Victor Jensen, Andreas Skov Olsen, Mika Biereth, Rasmus Hojlund, and Kasper Dolberg.

A notable absence among the 23 players selected by Kasper Hjulmand to represent the Danish national team is Conrad Harder. The forward, who is leaving Sporting, has already played for his country’s senior team, even being the main highlight for his team in the last edition of the Under-21 European Championship.

Thus, Morten Hjulmand and the rest of the Denmark squad have appointments with Scotland on September 5, and with Greece on the 8th. In the match against the Hellenic team, the Lions’ captain will meet his teammate Georgios Vagiannidis and his possible future colleagues, Fotis Ioannidis and Giannis Konstantelias.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in four matches. The captain of the green and whites has started and played every game so far, having already managed to score a goal at the start of the season.
