Hamburg's Albert Grønbæk set for injury lay-off after muscle tear on international duty

Grønbæk, who has two goals and two assists in five games across all competitions for HSV this campaign, was playing for his country against Norway in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday, coming on in the 82nd minute. However, he was forced off before the end of the game with his leg heavily bandaged.

Denmark's head coach, Brian Riemer, confirmed after the game that Grønbæk needed to leave the camp due to the issue. Now, following a MRI scan back in Hamburg, the club have announced that the 25-year-old has torn a muscle in his right thigh.

While there has been no update on how long he could be out for, he will not be available for the Denmark for the remainder of this international break and is unlikely to feature for his club initially once the Bundesliga returns.
