Their boss Dino Toppmöller has said: “Rasmus will be out for now. It’s a muscular injury. I’m annoyed with myself. Before the game, I seriously considered whether I should leave him out. Rasmus has always played, including for the national team.”
Kristensen joined his parent club in 2022 having previously been on the books of the likes of Ajax and Red Bulls Salzburg. He has since made 30 games for the Whites and has scored three goals from the back.
The full-back spent the last campaign out on loan at Roma in Serie A. He was then given the green light to head out the exit door once again in the last window when Frankfurt came calling.

After joining Leeds, he said: “When I heard about the interest I looked at the project and what was going on and I was never in doubt, I was 100 per cent convinced. It’s a huge historical club which is playing in the best league in the world and for me, it fits everything that I love about a football club.
“I know a lot of things about the club, where I am from, a small village, most of my father’s mates are Leeds fans. I want to compete against the best and I will do that here. I see myself as a physical, emotional power player, I like to go forward, run up and down the flank and I have a big engine for that.”
