Knudsen in Danish Squad - Ipswich Town News

Town left-back Jonas Knudsen has been named in the Denmark squad for their friendlies against Iceland and Scotland later this month.

The Danes face the Icelanders at home in Herning on Thursday 24th March and then the Scots at Hampden Park on the following Tuesday.

Knudsen, 23, has previously won two full Danish caps but this is his first call-up since joining the Blues last summer.

Speaking in December, Knudsen said he was hoping to break into new Denmark manager - and one-time Norwich defender - Ã…ge Hareide's squad.

Happy and proud to be called up for the Danish national team 🙌🏼⚽️🇩🇰 #endelafnogetstørre @DBUfodbold
