A player and a leader in the Danish national team squad has tested positive for covid-19.

In addition, another eight players and both national team captains have been quarantined for security reasons.

But the match against Sweden will be played.

- We feel safe and secure, and no one in the Swedish national team is infected, says assistant national team captain Peter Wettergren at the press conference.

However, national team captain Janne Andersson is missing due to corona falls within the family.

"Here to work hard"

Wettergren also announced the starting eleven against Denmark, where debutant Jens Cajuste, everyday in Central Jutland, can play from the start.

"I'm here to work hard," the 21-year-old midfielder said earlier this week.
