Rasmus Højlund shows improved form with Denmark amid Napoli tactical shifts

Napoli striker Rasmus Højlund is showing signs of improved form during the international break, having scored and assisted in recent matches for Denmark. His increased presence in the penalty area is seen as a positive signal for Napoli manager Massimiliano Allegri, who has been looking for more clinical involvement from his center-forward.

To manage Højlund’s workload during upcoming fixtures, Allegri is considering tactical shifts, including the use of a ‘false nine’ with players like David Neres or Antonio Vergara, or potentially returning to a three-man defense. The club is also monitoring the fitness of other players, as the team seeks to find better balance in both attack and defense.

In international news, Manchester United faces injury concerns after Patrick Dorgu suffered a hamstring injury while playing for Denmark against Wales. Additionally, Bruno Fernandes is managing a persistent issue that led to his absence from Portugal’s recent match against Norway.
