A sickness bug has disrupted Denmark’s preparations for their decisive World Cup qualifier against Scotland in Glasgow. Joachim Andersen and Rasmus Højlund missed the draw with Belarus due to illness, and a staff member is also affected. Head coach Brian Riemer said the medical team is attempting to contain the issue and hopes to have a full squad available on Tuesday, though he admitted concern.
Denmark lead Scotland by one point and need only a draw to qualify automatically. Scotland must win to reach their first World Cup finals since 1998. Steve Clarke urged the Hampden Park crowd to stay positive and support the team throughout the match.
