Denmark head coach Kasper Hjulmand says Rasmus Hojlund is back to full fitness.

The centre forward missed the early part of the season with Manchester United after a back problem.

However, he came on as a substitute in a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

Speaking to Bold.dk while with the Denmark squad, coach Hjulmand said: I was over there [at Manchester United] a week ago, where I saw two training sessions, and I saw the Rasmus I know.

He has never felt anything. So they have been very conservative and cautious with him.

But he looks like himself, and I think his jump-in was convincing. He started by smashing into a centre-back and he made his mark on the game in the minutes he played.

Now there was 15 minutes of overtime, so he got a little more than they had expected. It looked fine and he is in good shape."
