Knudsen Wins First Cap Since Joining Blues - Ipswich Town News
Town left-back Jonas Knudsen won his third full international cap - and his first since joining the Blues in the summer of 2015 - as Denmark drew 0-0 with Chile in a friendly in Aalborg this evening.
Knudsen started and played the full 90 minutes as he looks to win a place in the Danish squad travelling to Russia for this summer’s World Cup.
The 25-year-old’s previous caps - both appearances from the bench - were back in 2014 during his time with Esbjerg fB.
Keeper Bartosz Bialkowski, who won his first full cap on Friday, was an unused sub as Poland beat South Korea 3-2 in a friendly in Chorzów.
Elsewhere, academy youngster Kian Ronan, 17, was an unused sub as Gibraltar’s U21s were thrashed 5-0 by Russia in a European Championships qualifier.
On-loan Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, 20, will be hoping to win his second full US cap in their friendly against Paraguay in Cary, North Carolina later tonight.
