Moments after being called up once again, his third time so far, by De Rød-Hvide’s Senior team, Rasmus Højlund made the following statement: “Being it [the callback from the Denmark National Team] one of the many goals I’ve set for myself, I cannot help but feel honoured and humbled. Despite Atalanta obviously being my main focus on a day-to-day basis, playing for my national team is nonetheless a deal of utmost satisfaction for me as it is a childhood dream coming true”. Without any doubt, we are safe to add, will Rasmus forever cherish in his heart of hearts the two commitments played, respectively, against Finland and Kazakhstan. Namely, not only did Rasmus feature in Denmark’s starting XI for the first time in the match against Finland, but his dream debut was further embellished by a hat-trick. Having found his scoring ways against Kazakhstan as well with a brace, he has now reached the astonishing figure of 5 goals in four appearances!

Broadly speaking, all the 11 Atalanta players shortlisted for the latest batch of international fixtures have earned playing minutes during at least one (if not both) qualifying match to either Euro2024 or the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations. As for the U21s sides, only friendly international matches have been played.

Here is the global recap of the latest international commitments comprising all playing stats: playing time; goal(s) and assist(s).
