A sickness bug has disrupted Denmark’s plans for their make‑or‑break World Cup qualifier against Scotland in Glasgow on Tuesday. Brian Riemer, the Danish head coach, has admitted he is concerned over the situation amid fears that the ailment will spread further before kick-off.
Joachim Andersen and Rasmus Højlund missed Denmark’s surprising draw with Belarus on Saturday evening because of illness. The result in Copenhagen meant Scotland can still qualify automatically despite their 3-2 defeat against Greece. Steve Clarke’s side trail Denmark by a point in Group C as the teams prepare to meet in the final fixture. A draw will be sufficient for Denmark but the backdrop is fraught.
