Five English-based players in Denmark squad for Wembley trip

Five English-based players have been named in the Denmark squad for next week’s match against England at Wembley Stadium.

Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, Liverpool defender Daniel Agger, Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen, Fulham loanee William Kvist Jørgensen and Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendter have all been included in Morten Olsen’s 22-strong party.

Former Everton defender Lars Jacobsen has also been called up.

This match represents Roy Hodgson’s final chance to assess his players before he has to name his squad for the World Cup.

Tickets are still available from just £35, while a few seats remain in the family enclosure priced £20 for adults and £10 for children.

Hodgson will name his squad on Thursday afternoon.

England last faced Denmark in Copenhagen in February 2011 when a goal apiece from Darren Bent and Ashley Young helped the Three Lions to a 2-1 win. Jack Wilshere made his first senior team start in the same game.
