Knudsen Hoping to Win First Denmark Cap as Town Player - Ipswich Town News
Left-back Jonas Knudsen will be hoping to win his third full cap and his first since joining Town when Denmark take on Panama in a friendly at the Brøndby Stadion this evening.
Knudsen, 25, has been unable to add to the two caps won while with Esbjerg fB since moving to the Blues in the summer of 2015.
He was a late call into the squad for their World Cup qualification play-off with the Republic of Ireland in November - which the Danes won 5-1 on aggregate - and will hope to impress manager Ã…ge Hareide enough to win a place in the squad which travels to the World Cup in Russia in the summer.
Following tonight’s match, Denmark face Chile at Aalborg Portland Park on Tuesday evening.
