Danish national team playmaker Christian Eriksen was excused from training on Friday due to stomach problems, ahead of their Euro 2024 round of 16 clash with Germany.
Christian Eriksen, who scored one of Denmark’s two goals in this Euro, is a key player for his team. In great shape since his return to the field, after his heart attack in the middle of a match at Euro 2021, the midfielder could miss his team’s next match. Enough to complicate the team’s task against the Germans a little more.
The Danish captain suffered from stomach problems on Friday morning, similar to those experienced by teammate Thomas Delaney. To avoid any aggravation, the player was advised not to participate in training. “ It’s the same problems as Thomas Delaney, but he’s getting better and we hope he can hold his place. “, said coach Hjulmand at a press conference.
Hjulmand considers “Germany one of the favorites”
At the age of 32, the central midfielder is undoubtedly one of Denmark’s great assets during this European Cup. His potential absence could benefit the German selection which aims to win the continental coronation on home soil. The meeting between the two teams is, as a reminder, scheduled for this Saturday evening at Iduna Park in Dortmund.
In front of the press, Hjulmand gave his opinion on his next opponent: “I consider Germany one of the favorites for the title, it’s just a shame for them that they face us tomorrow Saturday, we have a good team, you will have to be very good to beat us. » It now remains to be seen whether Christian Eriksen will be able to participate in this crucial meeting.
