News about Mads Hermansen

Leicester City goalkeeper Mads Hermansen has revealed how he was once injured by Man United star Rasmus Hojlund during an incident on international duty. Hermansen had seen his tooth knocked out after a collision with Hojlund during a training session with Denmark. The incident occurred as Denmark prepared for Euro 2024 last summer, with the team practicing set pieces.

Three Premier League superstars are among the top five performers across Europe's best leagues heading into the second international break of the season. The Premier League season is already delivering just seven matches into the new campaign with Liverpool top, Man City and Arsenal challenging again, while Man United are mid-table after an agonising start. Amidst the chaos of domestic and European football, Sofascore has crunched the numbers to reveal the top 20 performing players across Europe's biggest leagues - with some surprising results.

ISAAN KHAN AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM: At times, it felt like Arsenal vs Mads Hermansen. As he dived one way then the next, the Danish goalkeeper had become the architect for Leicester to nearly walk away with something. It was James Justin's outrageous first-time volley off Wilfred Ndidi's cross that equalised the score at 2-2. Hermansen, however, pulled off a series of saves beyond the call of order to keep his team on hanging. The 24-year-old must've watched a David Raya compilation tape from this season. The heroics today were nearly in that bracket.

MATT BARLOW AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: The last goal Ollie Watkins scored in the Premier League came in mid-April at Arsenal, when Villa were charging for the top four. This season, he is not finishing his chances, foiled by David Raya's excellence in a 2-0 defeat by Arsenal and twice by Mads Hermansen in this 2-1 win at Leicester, although nobody at Villa is concerned. Unai Emery shrugged it off, which was easier for the manager to do after another win.

SIMON JONES: The 22-year-old is due to undergo a medical this week ahead of agreeing a seven-year contract. As reported by Mail Sport, the Blues had offered £17m but Villarreal held out for £21m - with both clubs reaching a compromise in recent days. Jorgensen is thought to be keen to join the club to compete with current No 1 Robert Sanchez and will pledge his long-term future to Stamford Bridge. He could now fly out to the United States for his medical checks.

Chelsea have offered £17million plus add-ons for Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen in a bid to strengthen their goalkeeping options. The 22-year-old is thought to be keen to join the west London club and compete with current No 1 Robert Sanchez, amid growing interest from Saudi side Al-Ittihad. Jorgensen served as the La Liga club's first-choice keeper last season, making 37 appearances in all competitions as they narrowly missed out on a European place. The 22-year-old is a regular for Denmark's Under-21 side, having previously represented Sweden at multiple youth levels. It is believed Chelsea are also offering £1.7million (€2m) in add-ons as part of the deal. Since succeeding Mauricio Pochettino in the Stamford Bridge dugout, manager Enzo Maresca has set about bolstering his depth between the sticks, with Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen also linked with the club.

Chelsea have reportedly made an initial approach to sign Danish youth international Filip Jorgensen from Villareal. Jorgensen served as the La Liga side's No 1 last season, making 37 appearances in all competitions as they narrowly missed out on a European place. The 22-year-old is a regular for Denmark's Under-21 side, having previously represented Sweden at multiple youth levels.

THE SHARPE END - JAMES SHARPE: Enzo Maresca, then. From assistant under Pep Guardiola at Man City to winning the Championship with Leicester and soon to be at Stamford Bridge. What can Chelsea fans expect from their exciting, if inexperienced, new boss when he arrives? What will change and where might he need to strengthen? Maresca's priority when he joined Leicester was to sign young Denmark goalkeeper Mads Hermansen. Maresca's teams, like his mentor Guardiola's, need a goalkeeper who can pass. A lot. When Maresca's teams have the ball, the full-back tucks into midfield, the centre-back shuffles across and the keeper steps into the defensive line. It gives Maresca an extra body in a 'box' midfield to dominate central areas while keeping four players in defence who can play out. Yep, just like Pep.

When Championship champion Leicester Leicester led Leicester by 10 points clear of the chasing pack, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was the standout performer. In a match sealed by Stephy Mavididi's second-half penalty and a goal soon after, the midfielder, a £30 million-rated transfer target of Brighton, began scoring. In the third minute, Dewsbury-Hall was struck after Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen had denied Jerry Yates a shock Swansea opener.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT CBS ARENA: A chink in the armour? Leicester has been nailed on to make an immediate return to the Premier League, but they must now show that this is not the start of a nightmare. Even with ten men, Enzo Maresca's Championship champions seemed to be edging to another victory thanks to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's first-half penalty. It all fell apart in the last ten minutes, as Callum O'Hare struck twice - either side of Milan van Ewijk's goal - to win Coventry a memorable victory. Leicester would point to the straight red card shown to Abdul Fatawu in the first half stoppage time, but really, it was a mess of their own creation. They lost their shape when O'Hare equalized, and they could not stop the flow even after the dam burst.

Sheffield United have inquired about a move for Leicester City goalkeeper Danny Ward, and Chris Wilder wants to bring some action between the sticks. Ward has found himself well out of favour under Foxes boss Enzo Maresca in the Championship this season, with Mads Hermansen and Jakub Stolarczyk ahead of him in the pecking order. Ward will be hoping for regular football this season if Wales makes it to Euro 2024, and he could face the current Blades No. 1 Wes Foderingham.
