Head coach of Denmark, Morten Olsen, has named his final 23 man squad for the World Cup. He has included the promising Palermo centre back Simon Kjaer despite picking up what looked like a potentially serious injury against Senegal yesterday. Kjaer will still undergo some scans so the extent of his injury can be assessed and monitored but the early expectations are that he will be able to play a part at the World Cup.
The squad includes four players from English clubs – Thomas Sorensen (Stoke City), Lars Jacobsen (Blackburn), Daniel Agger (Liverpool), and Nicklas Bendtner (Arsenal). The most exciting player in the Danish team is without a doubt, 18 year old Christian Eriksen. He is a young midfielder who plays for Ajax and has been capped on two occasions for Denmark already. His former coach, Martin Jol has made comparisons with Rafael van der Vaart and Wesley Sneijder.
Denmark last competed at the World in 2002 when they were knocked out in the second round by England, losing by three goals to nil.
