Philip Billing has been called into the Denmark squad for their World Cup qualifiers during the international break.
The 24-year-old midfielder, who earned his first senior cap for his country last October, has been drafted in to replace the unavailable Christian Eriksen.
Herrelandsholdet må desværre undvære @ChrisEriksen8 til VM-kvalkampen mod Israel i næste uge på grund af sikkerhedsrestriktioner i forbindelse med Covid-19-smitte i Eriksens klub, Inter.
