Ex-Manchester United and Burnley goalkeeper Anders Lindegaardfeatured for the Danish youth teams before he played his first game for the senior team. As a matter of fact, Lindegaard made his debut for the senior team several years after his last appearance for the junior team.
His under-19 debut was in September 2002 and he made his second under-19 appearance during the 1-0 win over Switzerland on October 13, 2002. The game against the Swiss was a 2003 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifier. In total, Anders Lindegaard was involved in six games as a youth team player until September 2003.
Lindegaard played his first game for the Denmark senior team during a Euro 2012 qualifier against Iceland on September 7, 2010. He kept a clean sheet in a game Denmark won 1-0. In another Euro 2012 qualifier against Portugal, Lindegaard came on as a substitute for the injured Thomas Sorensen with Denmark trailing 2-0. Lindegaard made many saves to keep the scores low before he eventually conceded a third goal to Cristiano Ronaldo with five minutes left on the clock. In the end, Portugal won 3-1. He was in goal for the next Euro 2012 qualifier against Cyprus and even managed to keep a clean sheet in a 2-0 win.
Anders Lindegaardmissed out on the Euro 2012 tournament in Poland and Ukraine due to injury and a lack of adequate game time post-recovery.
