The Manchester United man has rebuilt his career three years after his distressing cardiac arrest in Denmark's Euro 2020 opener and scored his 41st goal for his nation in a friendly success over Sweden earlier this month.

No player in Denmark's Euro 2024 squad has scored more times than Eriksen, who should act as his nation's creative focal point in a 3-4-1-2 setup, no doubt supplying Manchester United teammate Rasmus Hojlund.

Who partners the latter is still a topic of uncertainty, as Yussuf Poulsen, Kasper Dolberg and Jonas Wind all represent out-and-out striking options, but Kasper Hjulmand could instead take a punt on Brentford wide man Mikkel Damsgaard.

The latter's Bees teammate Christian Norgaard missed training on Thursday as a precaution, but he is expected to lose out to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and highly-rated Sporting Lisbon man Morten Hjulmand for the two deeper midfield spots either way.

Three competent full-backs are fighting for a pair of places in Hjulmand's system, and Benfica's Alexander Bah may be the unlucky soul to lose out as Joakim Maehle and Victor Kristiansen bomb down the flanks.

Simon Kjaer - Denmark's highest-capped men's player of all time - should also be content with a spot on the bench, as Andreas Christensen, Jannik Vestergaard and Joachim Andersen line up in front of Kasper Schmeichel.

Denmark possible starting lineup:

Schmeichel; Andersen, Christensen, Vestergaard; Maehle, Hojbjerg, Hjulmand, Kristiansen; Eriksen; Hojlund, Damsgaard
