A sickness bug has disrupted Denmark’s preparations for Tuesday’s decisive World Cup qualifier against Scotland. Joachim Andersen and Rasmus Højlund missed the draw with Belarus due to illness, and a staff member is also unwell. Head coach Brian Riemer hopes the situation is contained but admitted concern ahead of the match.
Scotland trail Denmark by one point in Group C and can qualify automatically with a win at Hampden Park. Manager Steve Clarke urged supporters to back the team positively as they aim for a first World Cup appearance since 1998.
