In a new report from the BBC, Jorgensen is believed to have received communication from the Denmark national team that he has an opportunity to start for his country at the World Cup.

The report claims the race for the No. 1 jersey is open after experienced goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel conceded six goals in two games against Belarus and Scotland as Brian Riemer’s men missed out on securing automatic qualification in Group C, finishing second.

In a remarkable affair at a bouncing Hampden Park, Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean scored late on as Scotland defeated Denmark 4-2 to qualify for their first World Cup in 28 years. The Danes will now have to try and book their place at the showpiece in Canada, Mexico and the United States by successfully plotting their way through the European playoffs, which begin in March.

However, while Jorgensen has been told he stands a chance of usurping Schmeichel between the sticks - with fellow Denmark goalkeeper Mads Hermansen also struggling for form at West Ham - the Chelsea shot-stopper’s situation is complicated by the fact he is yet to start a Premier League match for Enzo Maresca’s side this season.

The 23-year-old has made just one league appearance so far in 2025-26, emerging from the substitutes’ bench in the 2-1 loss at Manchester United on 20 September after first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez’s red card.

Jorgensen has also started twice in the Carabao Cup this term, while he also featured from the beginning in Chelsea’s thumping 5-1 win over Ajax in the Champions League on 22 October.

It remains to be seen whether Jorgensen will now look to secure a loan move in January as he attempts to force his way into the Denmark starting XI. The report concludes by saying such a departure would have implications for Chelsea, who are not looking to reduce their depth in the goalkeeping department.
