Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund have been named in Denmark s squad for Euro 2024, although there is no place for Matt O Riley in the 26-player party.
Eriksen s Euro 2020 campaign was notoriously curtailed after he suffered a cardiac arrest during his nation s opening match against Finland in Copenhagen.
The midfielder watched on from hospital as the Red and Whites went on to reach the semi-finals, but he will feature again this time around alongside Manchester United team-mate Hojlund.
However, O Riley has been left out, despite an impressive season with Scottish Premiership champions Celtic in which he scored 18 goals.
It s hard to disappoint someone, these are boyhood dreams that come up short, head coach Kasper Hjulmund told reporters, [but] I m very happy with the squad we have.
Simon Kjaer has also been included, despite a thigh injury limiting the veteran defender s game time with Milan towards the end of the Serie A season.
We have a lot of data on him, we have visited him and have it fully under control, Hjulmund added. He is now in a place where he is completely ready, he is in good physical condition.
