Slovenia vs Denmark LIVE SCORE: Euro 2024 latest as Kasper Schmeichel and Christian Eriksen start Group C clash

Welcome to Slovenia vs Denmark

Two teams hoping to reach the knockout stages of Euro 2024 face off at the MHP Arena, while Slovenia and Denmark begin their campaigns.

Benjamin Sesko will lead the Slovenia squad, with the in-demand striker having turned down interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd before signing a new contract at RB Leipzig.

Josip Ilicic has been brought back from the international wilderness after being left out of the national team for three years. However, he scored a late winner against Armenia in the warm-up games and will hope to play an important role in Germany.

However, Andraz Sporar is expected to play alongside Sesko, while Atletico Madrid number one Jan Oblak wears the captain’s armband between the sticks.

For Slovenia, winger Benjamin Verbic was unable to complete Wednesday’s full training session and is a slight doubt, but right-back Peter Stojanovic has fully recovered from the muscle injury that forced him to miss the last two friendlies this month.

Denmark coach Hjulmand was forced to make a late change to his squad as Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson succumbed to injury and had to be replaced by Zanka, one of four Brentford players in the squad.

Christian Eriksen is fit and raring to go and hopes to put the nightmare of Euro 2020 behind him, where he suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch. He recently scored a late winner against Sweden that sent Danish fans wild.

Bees midfielder Christian Norgaard missed training on Thursday but this was seen as just a precaution to ensure he was fit for the opening match of the tournament.
