Blues left-back Jonas Knudsen will have one final chance to make his case for inclusion in Denmark’s World Cup squad when the Danes take on Sweden in a friendly in Stockholm this evening.
Manager Ã…ge Hareide reduced his provisional party to 27 ahead of this week’s training camp in Helsingør and Knudsen looks to have a very good chance of making the final 23 for Russia which will be named on Monday.
The 25-year-old was the only out-and-out left-back at the training camp but Udinese's Jens Stryger Larsen has been a regular fixture in that role under Hareide, despite primarily playing at right-back.
In March, Knudsen won his third full international cap, and his first since joining Town in the summer of 2015, in a 0-0 friendly draw with Chile.
Denmark, who have another friendly at home to Mexico next Saturday, will play Peru, Australia and France in the group stages of the finals.
Blues keeper Bartosz Bialkowski joined up with a 32-man Poland party for a training camp in Arlamow on Tuesday. The final Polish squad is also set to be named on Monday.
