HERZOGENAURACH, JUNE 29: Denmark expect midfielder Christian Eriksen to overcome stomach issues and play in the Euro 2024 last 16 clash with Germany in Dortmund on Saturday.
Germany had positive news of their own over Antonio Rudiger, with the star defender returning to training on Friday having missed earlier sessions with a hamstring strain.
The Danes bid to spring a massive upset had appeared to take a hit with the influential Eriksen, and fellow midfielder Thomas Delaney both skipping team training with stomach problems.
Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand reported Eriksen "had some stomach issues this morning, and its the same thing we had with Thomas Delaney", with the two kept separate to protect the rest of the team.
Hjulmand added Eriksen was "feeling better again and we expect that he will be able to play tomorrow".
Eriksen, 32, has had a memorable return to the European Championship three years after he collapsed on the pitch in a match against Finland and was later fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).
He was named man-of-the-match in Tuesdays 0-0 draw with Serbia and played his 133rd game in Danish colours, breaking the all-time record.
Former Borussia Dortmund midfielder Delaney is less likely to recover in time, but Hjulmand said "we have a plan B for every player". —AFP
