Denmark coach Hjulmand warns Vestergaard over Leicester playing chances

Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand admits he'd like to see Jannick Vestergaard leave Leicester City.

Hjulmand has said he will not take any players to Qatar unless they play regularly for their clubs over the first few months of the new season.

“The next few days are spent talking to the players about it, about why there is a big responsibility for them individually in the autumn," Hjulmand said. “Because we are not together, we need to be as sharp and prepared as possible. The responsibility rests with the players at home in their clubs until we meet in November.

“I do not have a formula because there is no formula for it. But playing time is important. There are some who have been out for so long that it certainly cannot happen again. When you have been out for so long, there can not be another six months where you do not play.

“It aggravates selection for me when we arrive in November. You have to be as sharp as possible. They're going to have to play.

“I never tell anyone they must change (clubs). I've also seen people suddenly break through at their clubs. But I do say to those, there has to be regular playing time. It is extremely important for them if they are to have a chance to join."
