Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand says he isn't worried about Pierre-Emil Hojbjerg's lack of minutes with Tottenham.

However, Hjulmand would prefer the midfielder was playing more before the Euros.

"I'm not that nervous about Pierre right now. I hope he will play a lot before the EC, even though Tottenham is only in the Premier League and therefore does not have so many other matches," says Hjulmand.

"If anyone thinks you can remove Pierre and replace him with someone else, it won't work.

"Pierre has filled everything with us for the past three years. He is a volcano in the national team and has so much influence on our team.

"He is dominant with his physical strength and delivered a decisive score against Finland.

"He has a passion that drives the team with ferocity. There is absolutely no doubt that Pierre has a very strong influence on our entire team.

"I find it difficult to imagine replacing him for the EC, because he has such a great influence and importance for our game. Of course there is always a limit, but as the situation is right now, I trust Pierre 100 percent."
