Slovenia vs Denmark Team News
Slovenia Team News
Slovenia’s national team will undoubtedly focus on their star forward, Benjamin Sesko. The RB Leipzig striker, who had piqued interest from Chelsea and Arsenal before deciding to remain in Germany, is expected to play a pivotal role. His performance will be particularly crucial in a group that also includes England.
In a positive turn of events, Josip Ilicic has been named in the Slovenian squad for the first time since 2021 after overcoming mental health challenges. However, the team faces some injury concerns. Midfielders Benjamin Verbic, Sandi Lovric, and defenders Peta Stojanovic and Miha Blazic are all doubtful for the game.
Denmark Team News
The Danish team, edged out by England in the Euro 2020 semi-finals, had a disappointing World Cup in Qatar but topped their qualifying group for Euro 2024, which included today’s opponents, Slovenia. Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen and Benfica’s Alexander Bah have recovered from injuries to join the squad, providing a boost to Denmark’s defensive options.
Captain Simon Kjaer will lead the team, although his playing time will be carefully managed to ensure his fitness for the tournament’s later stages.
