Club career
FC Midtjylland
Born in Horsens, Kjær started playing football when he was four years old.[4] This led him to join a small-time club Lund IF near Horsens, before moving to the youth team of Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland in 2004, where his father was the club's team manager.[5][6] He was one of the first players to graduate from FCM's football academy, the first of its kind in Denmark, coming through the system alongside Midtjylland teammates Jesper Weinkouff, Christian Sivebæk and former teammate, Winston Reid.[7] Kjær started out playing in the midfield position before one of his coaches switched him to a defender position, a position he plays to date.[4] While at the club system, Kjær was named the best player of a French youth tournament in April 2006.[8] This resulted in Midtjylland subsequently rejecting offers from Lille OSC for Kjær and Jesper Juelsgård.[9]
Kjær made his senior debut for Midtjylland in the Viasat Cup training matches in June 2006,[10] Two months later, he signed his first professional contract, keeping him until 2009.[6][11] Kjær was promoted to the first team squad in January 2007.[12] He had a successful trial with Real Madrid in August 2007, but their transfer offer was refused by FC Midtjylland.[13][14][15] Soon after, Kjær signed a five-year contract with Midtjylland instead in September 2007.[1][16]
Kjær made his Superliga debut on 30 September 2007, in the 2–0 victory against AGF[17][18] By October 2007, his performances attracted the likes of Premier League clubs Middlesbrough and Chelsea.[19][20] He went on to play three more matches in the first half of the Danish Superliga 2007–08 season.[21][22][23] Kjær played all 15 games in the second half of the Superliga season, forming a defensive partnership with Magnus Troest.[24][25][26][27] During in which, he kept three consecutive clean sheets between 29 March 2008 and 13 April 2008 against OB, Copenhagen and AaB.[28][29][30]
Palermo
In February 2008, Kjær signed a five-year contract with Italian club Palermo, effective from the summer 2008,[31][32] earning Midtjylland a €4 million transfer fee.[33] On 5 June 2008, he was presented at the club's press conference alongside new signing, Andrea Raggi.[34]
However, his start to his Palermo's career suffered a setback when Kjær faced competitions in the club's defence, as well as, adapting in Italy.[35][36][37][38][39] It wasn't until on 26 October 2008 when he made his Palermo debut, coming on as a half-time substitute against Fiorentina in Serie A, as they lost 3–1.[40] After the match, his performance was praised by the club.[41][42] This was followed by making his first start for the club, as they drew 1–1 against Lecce three days later.[43] Kjær scored his first goal for Palermo in his third appearance on 2 November 2008, as well as, setting up the club's first goal of the game, in a 3–0 win over Chievo.[44][45] He has been involved in the first team, establishing himself in the starting eleven, playing in the centre–back position.[46][47][48][49] Due to his physically strong and tenacious, Kjær's performance continued to improve and was named the second best player under 21 in Serie A by La Gazzetta dello Sport.[50][51][52] It wasn't until 15 March 2009 when he scored his second goal of the season, in a 5–2 win against Lecce.[53] Kjær then scored his third goal of the season, in a 4–1 win against Bologna on 19 April 2009.[54] For his performance, he was named Serie A's Team of the Week.[55] Kjær ended the 2008–09 season as the club's top scoring defender in Serie A with three goals in twenty–seven appearance in all competitions.[56][57][58][59]
Kjær confirmed his reputation as a first team regular in the 2009–10 season, and formed a strong defensive partnership with fellow centre-back Cesare Bovo.[60][61][62][63][64] As a result, he signed an improved contract with the Sicilian club in September 2009.[65] Since the start of the 2009–10 season, Kjær started in every matches until he missed one match, due to suspension.[66] He returned to the starting line–up from suspension, playing the whole game, as Palermo lost 5–3 against Inter Milan on 29 October 2009.[67] A week later on 8 November 2009, Kjær scored his first goal of the season, in a 3–1 loss against Bologna.[68] He was named 2009 Danish Talent of the Year in November 2009, beating Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner and Ajax's Christian Eriksen after his successful first season in Palermo.[69] In January 2010, he was also named as Danish Footballer of the Year for 2009.[70][71] The next day, Kjær celebrated with a goal against Cagliari that decided the match for Palermo as the match ended 2–1.[72] Since returning from suspension, he started in the next ten league matches before being suspended once again.[73][74][75][76][77] After serving a one match suspension, Kjær returned to the starting line–up against Fiorentina on 24 January 2010 and helped the club kept a clean sheet, in a 3–0 win.[78] He started in the next nine league matches before being sent–off for a second bookable offence, in a 2–2 draw against Genoa on 24 March 2010. [79][80][81][82][83] After serving a one match suspension, Kjær returned to the starting line–up against Catania on 3 April 2010, as they lost 2–0.[84][85] He later started the remaining matches of the 2009–10 season and helped the side finished fifth place to qualify for the UEFA Europa League.[86][87][88] At the end of the 2009–10 season, Kjær scored twice in a total 35 Serie A games (which was thirty–eight appearances and scoring two times in all competitions).
VfL Wolfsburg
On 30 June 2010, VfL Wolfsburg confirmed they had opened talks with Kjær.[89] It came after when he continued to remain in the presence of interest from teams across Europe including English sides Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur plus Italian side Juventus.[90] The move was confirmed on 8 July 2010, as the club signed Kjær for an undisclosed fee believed to be in excess of £10million.[91][92] Following his move to Wolfsburg, Kjær said: "The transfer means I have the chance to play for a top club, I think this is the right step for me. We have a strong team that can challenge at the top of the Bundesliga. First, I need to secure a regular place." The deal made Kjær the most expensive Danish footballer of all time.[93] Making the shift from Serie A football to the Bundesliga meant that Kjær would become one of the best paid Danish footballers with an annual salary of around €3 million.[94] Both national coach Morten Olsen and the player, himself, agreed that the move Wolfsburg was not only economically justifiable for the young Danish defender but also the shift that this is both sporty and developmentally was a step in the right direction for him.[95][96]
Kjær made his unofficial debut for VfL Wolfsburg in a pre-season fixture against FC Augsburg, in which Wolfsburg ran out 1–0 winners.[97] His VfL Wolfsburg debut came on 15 August 2010, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 win against Preußen Münster in the first round of the DFB–Pokal.[98] He made his Bundesliga debut for Wolfsburg in a 2–1 loss against Bayern Munich five days later on 20 August 2010.[99][100] After a poor start to the season for Wolfsburg, with varying results and unmet expectations; Kjær scored his first goal for Wolfsburg in a 2–0 win over Stuttgart when he headed the ball in over the line after a corner kick. However, the goal was eventually credited to Edin Džeko after it was shown that the ball took a deflection from Džeko's shot.[101][102] Despite much criticism from the media for his poor performances, Kjær played in the starting line-up in all 17 Bundesliga matches in the autumn 2010 season.[103][104][105] After having formed a successful partnership with Italy international Andrea Barzagli in Wolfsburg's central defence, he then featured alongside German international Arne Friedrich.[106][107][108] It wasn't until on 22 January 2011 when Kjær scored his first Bundesliga goal by heading a headed goal in the 83rd minute, in a 1–0 win against Mainz 05, a win that secured the first the club victory in eight matches – after seven drawn games in a row.[109][110][111] Following Steve McClaren's sacking (who brought him to the club) due to further poor results in February 2011, Felix Magath returned to Wolfsburg (the manager guided the club to win their first Bundesliga title) and commented on criticising the 'poor condition' of the players he inherited (including Kjær) from McClaren.[112] In connection with the dismissal declared affection in public, Kjær said he was sorry for firing, and was happy to work with Steve McClaren.[113] Despite the comment from Magath, Kjær continued to regain his first team place for the rest of the 2010–11 season, though it was met by frustration, as the club narrowly avoided the drop last season and he has come under fire for some lacklustre displays.[114][115][116][117] Despite being on the sidelined on three occasions during the 2010–11 season, he made thirty–four appearances and scoring once in all competitions.[118][119][120][121]
In the summer transfer window 2011, Kjær revealed that head coach Magath told him that he'll be allowed to leave this summer and reported that he had fallen out favor with Magath.[122] Amid to the transfer speculation, Kjær made four appearances for Wolfsburg before departing for Roma.[123][124][125][126]
Loan to Roma
Italian side Roma revealed the club are on the verge of signing Kjær on a €10 million move from Wolfsburg as a replacement for centre-back Philippe Mexès who left for AC Milan on a free transfer.[127] However, the move to Roma was put back on hold after reports in Italy claimed the defender had been recalled by his club Wolfsburg.[128][129] Instead on 30 August 2011, Kjær went out on a season-long loan deal to Roma, with the option to purchase at the end of the season.[130][131]
Kjær made his debut for Roma in a 0–0 draw against Inter Milan on 17 September 2011.[132] However, in a 2–1 loss against rivals, Lazio on 16 October 2011, he received a straight red card in the 50th minute for a foul on Cristian Brocchi, resulting in a penalty and was successfully by the opposition team.[133] After the match, Kjær missed the next four matches, due to suspension and his own injury concern.[134][135][136][137] It wasn't until on 20 November 2011 when he returned to the starting line–up against Leece, as the club won 2–1.[138] However, his return was short–lived when Kjær suffered an injury that kept him out for a month.[139] It wasn't until on 11 January 2012 when he returned to the starting line–up for Roma's match against Fiorentina in the Round of 16 of the Coppa Italia and helped the side kept a clean sheet, in a 3–0 win.[140] However, during the club's 4–2 defeat to Cagliari on 1 February 2012, Kjær was a fault for his poor performance and was largely disappointing for Roma.[141] After the match, Roma director Walter Sabatini dropped a strong hint that the club may decide against signing Kjær on a permanent basis due to his poor performance at Roma.[142] Amid to the situation, he continued to remain in the first team for the rest of the 2011–12 season.[143][144][145][146][147] Despite being sidelined on two more occasions later in the 2011–12 season, Kjær made twenty–four appearances in all competitions.[148][149][150][151] Following this, Roma decided against signing Kjær permanently, citing his poor performances.[152][153][154][155][156]
Return to Wolfsburg
After his loan-spell at Roma ended, Kjær stated he would not return to Wolfsburg, after coach Magath decided the Dane was not going to be part of his first team plans for the club's 2012–13 season.[157][158] However, Magath changed his mind by announcing that he's willing to bury the hatchet with Kjær and keen to bring him into his first team at Wolfsburg.[159][160][161]
He made his first appearance for Wolfsburg in the opening game of the 2012–13 season against VfB Stuttgart, coming on as a late substitute, in a 1–0 win.[162] After missing the follow–up match against Hannover 96 due to a potential transfer to Galatasaray, which later collapsed, Kjær returned to the starting line–up against FC Augsburg on 16 September 2012, as they drew 0–0.[163][164] After the match, both he and his Danish compatriot Thomas Kahlenberg were praised by Manager Magath.[165] However, Kjær found himself placed in the substitute bench in the first three months to the season.[166][167][168] Following Magath's sacking, he returned to the starting line–up against Fortuna Düsseldorf on 27 October 2012, as the club won 4–1.[169] Soon after, Kjær regained his first team place, playing in the centre–back position under the new management of Lorenz-Günther Köstner and Dieter Hecking.[170][171][172][173][174] It wasn't until on 2 December 2012 when he scored his first goal of the season, in a 1–1 draw against Hamburger SV.[175] A month later on 19 January 2013, Kjær set up the club's second goal of the game, in a 2–0 win against Stuttgart.[176] Following the criticism of his performance against Hannover 96 on 26 January 2013, he was dropped to the substitute bench for the next three matches.[177][178][179][180] But Kjær made his return to the starting line–up against Mainz 05 on 23 February 2013, in a 1–1 draw.[181] Following the match, he regained his first team place for the next seven matches.[182][183][184][185][186] Kjær then scored his second goal of the season, in a 1–1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen on 6 April 2013.[187] Two weeks later on 20 April 2013 against Werder Bremen, he set up Wolfsburg's first goal of the game before being substituted in the 54th minute after suffering an abductor problem.[188] Following the match, Kjær never played for the club for the rest of the 2012–13 season.[189][190][191] At the end of the 2012–13 season, he went on to make twenty–five appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.
Lille LOSC
On 5 July 2013, it was announced that Kjær had signed a four-year deal with Ligue 1 side, Lille.[192] Upon the club, he said: "I think this is the right time for me to come to LOSC. Whether it is in my progression, from a geographical point of view or in relation to the people who live in this region, it is obvious that the idea of joining such a club can only be the good one."[193]
Kjær made his Lille debut in the opening game of the season against FC Lorient, where he kept a clean sheet, in a 1–0 win.[194] Since making his debut for the club, he quickly established himself in the starting eleven, playing in the centre–back position, forming a partnership with Marko Baša.[195][196][197][198][199] Kjær helped Lille kept two consecutive clean sheets between 25 August 2013 and 31 August 2013 against Saint-Étienne and Rennes.[200][201] He, once again, helped the club kept ten consecutive clean sheets between 24 September 2013 and 3 December 2013.[202][203][204][205][206] Kjær then set up Lille's only goal of the game, as they lost 2–1 against Stade de Reims on 12 January 2014.[207] Nine days later on 21 January 2014, he scored his first goal for the club, in a 3–0 win against Iris Club de Croix in the second round of the Coupe de France.[208] Kjær impressed during his first season in the French Ligue 1 as leader of the best defence in the major European national leagues in the 2013–14 season conceding only 26 goals in 38 matches including an impressive number of 21 clean sheets.[209][210][211][212][213] As a result of the solid performances Kjær frequently appeared on various medias team of the week during the entire season, eventually earning a spot on "the Ligue 1 Team of the Season" alongside teammate and goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama.[214] Despite missing three matches during the 2013–14 season, he made thirty–seven appearances and scoring once in all competitions.[215][216][217][218][219][220]
At the start of the 2014–15 season, Kjær played in both legs in the third round of the UEFA Champions League Qualifying Round against Grasshopper, as he helped Lille win 3–1 on aggragate to advance to the next round.[221][222] Kjær then kept three consecutive clean sheets in the first three league matches, including scoring his first ever Ligue 1 goal against Lorient with a deflected free kick.[223][224][225] He continued to regain his first team place, playing in the centre–back position.[226][227][228][229][230] Kjær then scored on his UEFA Europa League debut, in a 1–1 draw against FC Krasnodar on 18 September 2014.[231] He, once again, he kept three consecutive clean sheets between 7 January 2015 and 14 January 2015, including scoring his second goal of the season, in a 2–0 win against FC Nantes in the quarter–finals of the Coupe de la Ligue.[232][233][234] However, Kjær suffered a thigh injury during a match against Lorient on 17 January 2015 and was substituted in the 33rd minutes, resulting in him missing two matches.[235][236] He returned to the starting line–up against Montpellier on 7 February 2015, as the club won 2–1.[237] Since returning to the first team from injury, Kjær continued to regain his first team place, playing in the centre–back position.[238][239][240] Despite being sidelined on five occasions during the 2014–15 season, he went on to make forty–two appearances and scoring three times in all competitions.[241][242][243][244][245]

Kjær made his Fenerbahçe debut, starting the whole game, in a 0–0 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Third Round.[249] However, in a return leg, he was sent–off for the second bookable offence, as the club lost 3–0, eliminating them from the tournament.[250] Kjær then made his league debut for Fenerbahçe, starting the whole game, as they drew 1–1 against Çaykur Rizespor.[251] However while on international duty, he suffered an ankle injury that saw him out for three weeks.[252][253] It wasn't until on 27 September 2015 when Kjær returned to the starting line–up against Beşiktaş, only for him to score an own goal, as the club lost 3–2.[254][255] As a result, his performance was subjected of criticism, due to picking up cards in his first seven official matches.[256][257][258] Despite this, he continued to regain first team place, playing in the centre–back position.[259][260][261][262][263] Over time, his performance began to improve.[264][265][266][267][268] It wasn't until on 28 December 2015 when Kjær scored his first goal for Fenerbahçe, in a 2–1 win against Sivasspor.[269] He then helped the club kept five consecutive clean sheets between 20 February 2016 and 3 April 2016.[270][271][272][273][274] Kjær, once again, helped Fenerbahçe kept four consecutive clean sheets between 20 April 2016 and 5 May 2016, including helping the side reached the final of the Turkish Cup by beating Konyaspor 5–0 on aggragate and scoring his second goal of the season, in a 3–0 win against Gaziantepspor.[275][276][277][278] He then started in the final against rivals, Galatasaray, as they lost 1–0.[279] Despite being sidelined on three more occasions later in the 2015–16 season, Kjær made forty–five appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.[280][281][282]

Sevilla
As a result of Fenerbahçe's ban from playing European football next season, this led Kjær wanting to leave the club as a result.[307][308][309] On 2 August 2017, Kjær joined Spanish side Sevilla, signing a four-year deal for a transfer fee of €12,500,000.[310]

Kjær made his Atalanta debut, starting the whole game, in a 2–0 win against Roma on 24 September 2019.[348] He then appeared four more times throughout October.[349][350][351][352] However, just like Martin Škrtel (his former teammate at Fenerbahçe who signed and terminated his contract with Atalanta within August 2019), he failed to convince the team's head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.[353][354][355] As a result, the club chose to terminate the loan deal six months ahead of expiration.[356][357]
Milan
On 13 January 2020, Kjær signed with Milan on loan for the rest of the 2019–20 season, with the option to make the transfer permanent for an undisclosed sum.[358] He had been linked with the club in the late 2000s and early 2010s during his time with Palermo and even praised in the media by then-current Milan's head coach Carlo Ancelotti yet the move eventually broke down as two clubs failed to agree on his transfer fee.[359][360] On 15 January 2020, Kjær made his debut for the club, playing for 82 minutes in a home 3–0 win against S.P.A.L. in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.[361] Four days later, he played his first game in Serie A as a Milan player in a dramatic 3–2 home win against Udinese.[362] After missing one match due to illness, Kjær returned to the starting line–up, playing in the centre–back position, losing 4–2 against rivals, Inter Milan on 9 February 2020.[363] However, his return was short–lived when he torn his muscle injury and was substituted in the 44th minute, in a 1–0 win against Torino on 17 February 2020.[364] After the match, it was announced that Kjær would be out of action for a few months.[365] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in the suspension of League matches, he managed to recover from his injury and returned to the starting line–up in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi–finals against Juventus; the club drew 0–0, resulting in Milan's elimination from the tournament.[366][367] In his debut season under head coach Stefano Pioli, Kjær would compete with other central defenders, namely Mateo Musacchio, Léo Duarte, and Matteo Gabbia, for a starting line-up spot in the team's back four alongside left central defender and captain Alessio Romagnoli.[368][369][370][371][372] He would make 11 more appearances for Milan (9 in Serie A and 4 in Coppa Italia) before the club bought him out from Sevilla for €3.5 million on 15 July 2020, the expiry date of the buy-out clause in his loan deal.[373][374]
On 15 July 2020, Kjær signed a contract with Milan until 30 June 2022.[375]
International career
Kjær made his only appearance for Denmark U18 on 19 September 2006, in a 4–1 win against Slovakia U18.[376] He made his debut for the Denmark national under-19 football team on 6 September 2006, at the age of 17, beating Portugal U19 3–2.[377] He played a total 10 games and scored one goal for the under-19s until October 2007, and was named 2007 Danish under-19 talent of the year as the under-19s coach found Kjær had shown himself a talented defender despite his young age.[378][379] Following his breakthrough with Midtjylland, Kjær was rested from the under-19s in March 2008 to avoid wearing him out.[380]
Kjær was called up for the Denmark national under-21 football team in May 2008 as a replacement for Michael Jakobsen,[381] making his debut in a 0–4 defeat against the Germany under-21s.[382] He was out of the under-21 team during his first time at Palermo, but was recalled in October 2008,[383] spending the game as an unused substitute to Magnus Troest and Mathias Jørgensen.[384] Kjær was an unused substitute for the friendly match against Greece, and returned to the under-21s for a single game in March 2009,[385] playing well enough that under-21 coach Keld Bordinggaard recommended him for a recall to Olsen's squad.[386] He went on to make two appearances for the U21 side.
Kjær made his only Denmark U20, coming against France U20 on 19 November 2008.[387][388]
Senior Team
Kjær was called up to the senior Danish national team in February 2009,[389] as national team coach Morten Olsen was impressed by his form for Palermo,[390] and saw him and Per Krøldrup as main competitors to replace the retired defender Martin Laursen.[391]
Kjær was once again a part of the senior squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification game against Sweden on 6 June 2009 after Per Krøldrup was unavailable due to injury.[392] He played the full game despite an injury of his own, as Denmark won 1–0.[393] Kjær established himself in the Danish starting line-up, played the following three qualification games, and helped Denmark qualify for the 2010 World Cup despite facing injury along the way.[394][395][396][397][398] For the September 2009 qualification game against Portugal, Kjær told reporters that Cristiano Ronaldo should be stopped by a series of small fouls and one hard tackle.[399] This prompted a complaint to FIFA by the Portuguese Football Federation requesting Kjær be suspended for unsportsman-like conduct, but the case was dropped following the mediation of the Danish Football Association.[400]
On 28 May 2010, Denmark coach Morten Olsen announced that the player would be part of the final squad of 23 participating in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.[401] Kjær was in the starting eleven in Denmark's first two games, against the Netherlands and Cameroon, where he received a yellow card in both games and therefore missed the third and crucial group game against Japan.[402][403][404] However, in the match against Cameroon, Kjær was highly praised for his excellent long-range passing which helped to set up Nicklas Bendtner's first goal.[405][406] Despite, his performance in the World Cup was praised by the media and Samuel Eto'o, himself.[407][408] He said playing in the tournament benefited him, claiming it has strengthened him a lot.[409]
Following Denmark's win over Iceland in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying, Stig Tøfting criticised his performance, as he witnessed him for making too many mistakes during the match.[410] This led to Kjær responded and criticised Tøfting saying: "These statements hit me personally! It is the first time that I have come under pressure and I try to take these words as a motivation. I am not happy about his (Tøfting's) opinion. He just says that to stay in the public attention. He should be serious!"[411][412] Tøfting continued to remain critical of the player, criticising him once again throughout his Denmark's career.[413][414] The next two years saw the player regaining his first team place for the national side and helped them qualify for the UEFA Euro 2012 following their 2–1 win against Portugal on 11 October 2011.[415][416][417][418][419] In May 2012, he was inducted in the final squad for Euro 2012.[420] Kjær was among the starting 11 in each of the three group games, against the Netherlands, Portugal and Germany, as they were eliminated in the Group Stage.[421][422][423]
Following the end of the UEFA Euro 2012 tournament, Kjær appeared four more times by the end of the year.[424][425][426][427] It wasn't until on 22 March 2013 when he scored his first goal for Denmark, in a 3–0 win against Czech Republic for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification.[428] However, Kjær sat out the remaining matches of the qualification, as the national side failed to earn a place in the World Cup after finishing second place.[429]
Following Denmark's unsuccessful qualification at the World Cup, Kjær regained his place for the national side.[430][431][432] He then scored his second Denmark's goal, in a 3–1 win against Serbia in the UEFA Euro 2016 qualification on 14 November 2014.[433] Kjær then helped the national side kept three consecutive clean sheets between 13 June 2015 and 7 September 2015 against Serbia, Albania and Armenia.[434][435][436] In the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs against Sweden, Kjær played in both legs, as he failed to helped Denmark qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 following a 4–3 defeat on aggragate.[437][438]
Following the national side's unsuccessful qualification to the UEFA Euro 2016, Kjær captained Denmark for the first time in his career against Bosnia and Herzegovina on 3 June 2016, as Denmark lost 4–3 in a penalty shootout after playing 120 minutes, in a 2–2 draw.[439][440] Following the retirement of Daniel Agger, it was announced he would succeed him as the national side's captain.[441][442][443] Once again, Kjær helped the national side kept three consecutive clean sheets between 7 June 2016 and 4 September 2016 against Bulgaria, Liechtenstein and Armenia.[444][445][446][447] He then helped Denmark finished second place in the Group E of the FIFA World Cup qualification.[448][449][450] Kjær played in both legs of the World Cup Play–Offs for a place in the World Cup against Republic of Ireland, as the national side won 5–1 on aggregate and qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[451][452] He helped the national side kept four consecutive clean sheets in friendly matches between 22 March 2018 and 9 June 2018 against Panama, Chile, Sweden and Mexico.[453][454][455][456] In May 2018, Kjær was named in Denmark's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[457] He served as Denmark's captain at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[458][459] Kjær captained his first World Cup match against Peru and helped the national side win 1–0 on 16 June 2018.[460] He helped the national side reach the knockout stage following a draw against Australia and France.[461][462] Denmark ultimately progressed from their group after which they were drawn with Croatia in the Round of 16. There they were defeated after a penalty shoot-out, with Kjær being one of the two players to have his spot-kick successfully converted.[463]
Following the World Cup, Kjær captained three more matches for the national side's matches by the end of the year and helping them kept three consecutive clean sheets against Wales, Republic of Ireland and Austria.[464][465][466] He then played an important role for Denmark by setting up two goals, in a 5–1 win against Georgia on 10 June 2019.[467] This was followed up by keeping four consecutive clean sheets against Gibraltar, Georgia, Switerzland, Luxembourg and Gibraltar.[468][469][470] Kjær captained the side against Republic of Ireland on 18 November 2019 and helped Denmark to qualify for UEFA Euro 2020.[471] On 14 October 2020, Kjær played his 100th match for Denmark in a 1–0 away win against England.[472]

Personal life
In addition to speaking Danish, Kjær speaks five languages, including English and Italian (having learnt the language from his time at Palermo).[477][478][479][480][481] Growing up, he idolised John Terry and Fabio Cannavaro and supported Liverpool.[482][5] While his father was supportive of him becoming a footballer, his mother, a teacher, was not.[5]
Despite not liking studying while attending school, Kjær was able to receive his diploma.[4][5] He married his long-term girlfriend, Camilla. They have known each other since fifteen.[4][5] However, they broke up and at some point, began a relationship with Elina Gollert, a Swedish national.[483][484][485] Together, they have two children, Milas and Viggo.[486][487][488] In the summer of 2017, they were married.[489][490]
Kjær talked about superstitions, saying: "I am a believer but not a practitioner. The first sock I wear is always the right one. But not just before every game. I do it every morning."[5]
