Decent on both sides of ball Hojbjerg recorded five shots (four on goal) in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus England.
Impact Hojbjerg led the match in shots with five but was unable to bag a goal in the draw. He also made a solid contribution in the defense, adding two clearances, three interceptions and six tackles. He continues to be a centerpiece of the Danish team with solid playmaking attributes, but he likely won't be the best bet to score a goal for their team.

Skpping Melbourne trip Hojbjerg did not fly to Melbourne with Tottenham because of a minor injury, according to manager Ange Postecoglou.
Impact Hojbjerg is likely being held out from the trip because of the upcoming Euros, as he's set to feature a bit more than he did with Spurs. He closed the campaign with 36 appearances but just eight starts, failing to score or assist. After being a regular under prior managers, he was thought to move elsewhere before the season but ended up staying and holding more of a bench role after starting 71 league matches the prior two campaigns.
