A sickness bug has disrupted Denmark’s preparations ahead of 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 has also been affected. Head coach Brian Riemer hopes the situation is contained but admitted concern as Denmark need only a draw on Tuesday to qualify.
Scotland trail Denmark by one point and will reach their first World Cup since 1998 with a win. Manager Steve Clarke called on the Hampden crowd to stay positive and support the team throughout the match.
