First team in the Round of 16
Denmark made a mortifying start to their UEFA Euro 2020 campaign, as their opener against Finland was marred by the incident involving Christian Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest in the first half. And, if not for the swift actions of referee Anthony Taylor as well as the medical staff present at the stadium, things could have taken an even more harrowing turn.
Belgium on the other hand, were thoroughly professional in their campaign-opening fixture, easing past Russia with a 3-0 win. Roberto Martinez & co. are currently on a ten-game unbeaten run, with the Belgium head coach on the cusp of equalling the record for overseeing most wins for the side at the European Championships, with Guy Thys currently on eight wins in the competition.
Christian Eriksen will continue to be monitored and undergo tests in hospital to understand the cause of his collapse.
The Dane posted on social media a message of thanks for all the support which he received following the incident.
Mathias Jensen is likely to be the player who will take Eriksen’s place in the line-up on Thursday.
Given the traumatic nature of the incident, Hjulmand will need to assess his players’ mental wellbeing ahead of the clash.
Timothy Castange suffered a nasty head injury against Russia.
He will subsequently miss the remainder of the tournament due to the injury.
Kevin De Bruyne is in line to return from a head injury and could be part of the squad.
Axel Witsel is also available after returning from a groin injury.
Today’s Group B clash at UEFA Euro 2020 will be the 16th meeting between Denmark and Belgium. The head-to-head record till date is fairly balanced, with both teams winning six games apiece (D3).
Denmark have lost three successive games in the Euro finals, and four out of their last five; in fact, they have recorded only two wins in their last 11 Euro finals matches (D2 L7).
Axel Witsel & Kevin De Bruyne to return for Belgium?
Belgium will be through if they beat Denmark.
