Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Provides assist on winning goal Hojbjerg assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Monaco.

Impact Hojbjerg supplied the assist for Mason Greenwood's late winner in Sunday's derby against Monaco, punching a fast pass into the forward to break the deadlock. Earlier, he made a key recovery challenge to snuff out a Monaco break and later cleared the ball off the line during a dangerous sequence in Marseille's box. Hojbjerg likely had his best outing this season for Marseille, contributing two chances created along with season highs of three clearances and three blocks. He set the physical tone in midfield and helped Marseille manage Monaco's late push. Hojbjerg will look to build on that performance heading into 2026 with the same approach and motivation he showed while wearing the captain's armband until Leonardo Balerdi came on.

This is great news for Marseille since he is one of the players with the most UCL experience in the squad and the main leader in the midfield for OM. Hojbjerg should resume his starting role against the Belgian since the game will be decisive for the rest of the season for the Olympians.

Impact Hojbjerg missed the defeat against Lille on Friday due to illness but resumed team training on Monday, one day ahead of the important clash against Union SG in the Champions League. This is great news for the Olympians since the Danish midfielder is an undisputed starter in the heart of the game when fit and an important player in the system of coach Roberto de Zerbi. Having him fit for the game would bring stability and tactical awareness in an important game that will condition the rest of the season.

The midfielder has been an undisputed starter in the heart of the game for the Olympians when fit, therefore a potential absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Geoffrey Kondogbia, Angel, Matt O'Riley or Darryl Bakola as possible options to start in his place alongside Arthur Vermeeren who seems to be an undisputed starter now for OM.

Scores header in draw Hojbjerg scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Toulouse. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 75th minute.

Impact Hojbjerg kept driving play from midfield and was rewarded in the 74th minute, timing his run perfectly to meet Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's long cross with a guided header into the far corner to give the lead to Marseille. This marked his second goal of the season and looked like a deliverance since he attempted numerous times this season with 20 shots in 13 Ligue 1 appearances. Hojbjerg is showing a better figure in recent games after a difficult start of the season in terms of global performances, likely due to adapting his play to his new teammates.

Hojbjerg was criticized at the very beginning of the season since his performances were a bit under his expected level, but the Danish midfielder has great mental strength and proved he remains one of the most important pieces in the system of coach Roberto de Zerbi.

He also made a solid contribution in the defense, adding two clearances, three interceptions and six tackles. He continues to be a centerpiece of the Danish team with solid playmaking attributes, but he likely won't be the best bet to score a goal for their team.

Skpping Melbourne trip Hojbjerg did not fly to Melbourne with Tottenham because of a minor injury, according to manager Ange Postecoglou.

Impact Hojbjerg is likely being held out from the trip because of the upcoming Euros, as he's set to feature a bit more than he did with Spurs. He closed the campaign with 36 appearances but just eight starts, failing to score or assist. After being a regular under prior managers, he was thought to move elsewhere before the season but ended up staying and holding more of a bench role after starting 71 league matches the prior two campaigns.
