Should be ready Sunday Hojbjerg (knee) was not mentioned by manager Antonio Conte in his press conference ahead of Sunday's match against Leeds.

Impact This is good news for Hojbjerg, assuming Conte isn't keeping any information to himself. Hojbjerg is a vital part to the Spurs midfield and while that doesn't mean much for fantasy, he helps the players around him maybe more than anyone else in the side.

Misses both matches over break Hojbjerg missed both of Denmark's matches over the break with a minor knee injury.

Impact Hojbjerg is considered a doubt for Sunday's match against Leeds, though there hasn't been a ton of info released on his injury. For now, it's assumed he'll be ready given that he's played all but one minute for Spurs this season, but there's a slight chance he misses out and it's something that should be monitored in coming days.

Scores goal, continues adding value Hojbjerg scored one goal during a 2-1 win Sunday versus Aston Villa.

Impact Hojbjerg recorded his first 2021-22 English Premier League goal. Despite rarely scoring goals, those are one way the Dane adds value to that he already gives.

Impact Hojbjerg was very busy defensively and delivered a great stat line in terms of peripheral stats. The holding midfielder though had very few offensive looks and will finish the campaign with his three assists on 11 chances created that came early in the Euros.

Logs two dribbles in quarters win Hojbjerg had one chance created, two dribbles, three tackles (all won) and two interceptions in Saturday's 2-1 win over Czech Republic.

Impact Hojbjerg had to turn in another mostly defensive production as the Danes dominated early again and had to protect their lead for the most of the game. The versatile midfielder though saw a ton of offense early in the campaign dishing three assists along with six shots and nine chances created in his first three outings and those skills may be needed again Wednesday versus the stingy England, who are still to concede a goal in this Euro campaign.

Subdued performance in win Hojbjerg had one shot not on target and two inaccurate crosses in Saturday's win against Wales.

Impact Hojbjerg wasn't needed to get forward Saturday unlike the prior matches and he was back to putting in a subdued fantasy performance. He has some nice matches for Denmark in the tournament, but this game was a return to his club numbers without the upside. In another decent matchup against Czech Republic next round, he'll be hard to trust for production seen in group stages.

The midfielder set up two of the goals for his team and has mounted three assists in last two matches. He's been a creative force this campaign hauling in six shots (three on target), nine chances created and four crosses in his three matches thus far. The stingy Wales though is up next in the Round of 16.
