England vs Denmark: Team news, preview & predictions

Will it be England or Denmark who advance to reach the Euro 2020 final when they collide in Wednesday’s second semi-final?

Both are fascinating stories during a memorable tournament, with the Three Lions growing from strength to strength and finally gaining some self-belief after dispatching old nemeses Germany at Wembley.

Denmark have been even more remarkable, having experienced the shattering collapse of Christian Eriksen in their opener—a 1-0 home defeat by Finland.

Despite losing their opening two matches, Denmark proved they are made of stern stuff, and became the first team in Euros history to take zero points from their first pair of fixtures but still advance to the knockouts.

Further triumphs have followed, but can they pull off a major upset at Wembley?

England vs Denmark: Team news

Gareth Southgate’s squad are without injuries, leaving the coach with some big decisions to make.

Bukayo Saka is fit again, but has he done enough to justify a starting spot ahead of the likes of Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish or Phil Foden?

For Denmark, Eriksen is obviously absent, and it remains to be seen whether Yussuf Poulsen is fit enough to start as he recovers from a knock.

Unfortunately for the hosts, captain Simon Kjaer has bounced back from his injury problems and will take his place in the heart of the defence.
