The men's national team bolstered by Eriksen, Isaksen and Nørgaard for World Cup qualifying

Denmark’s men’s national football team has officially announced its squad for October as they continue their quest to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The team is gearing up for crucial matches against Belarus and Greece, making this selection particularly significant.

Key Players Returning for Denmark

Among the notable inclusions are Christian Eriksen, Gustav Isaksen, and Christian Nørgaard, all of whom return to the squad after missing the opening qualifiers in September. Their experience and skill are expected to bolster Denmark’s chances in the upcoming matches. The first match is scheduled against Belarus in Hungary on October 9, followed by a home game against Greece on October 12 at Parken Stadium.

Head coach Brian Riemer has called up a total of 24 players for this important phase of qualification. The decision to expand the squad indicates some uncertainty regarding the fitness of Rasmus Nissen Kristensen, who has been dealing with injury concerns. As the team gathers on Monday, one player may ultimately be dropped from the squad to finalize the lineup.

With the World Cup on the horizon, the pressure is mounting for Denmark to secure crucial points in these qualifying matches. The return of key players like Eriksen could prove vital in achieving the team’s objectives. Fans are eager to see how the team performs, especially with the increased competition in the qualification rounds.

Denmark’s strategy and preparation in these upcoming matches could very well shape their path to the World Cup. Supporters will be watching closely as the squad aims to deliver strong performances and secure their place on the world stage.
