Real Betis left back Riza Durmisi is the only regular in the Denmark team to miss out on the squad for the forthcoming World Cup play-off games against Ireland.

The well regarded 23 year-old who has established himself as something of an automatic choice in Age Hareide’s starting line-ups over the past couple of years, misses out on this occasion after picking up a hamstring injury while playing for his club a couple of weeks ago.

All of the squad's other established players are included by Hareide with the likes Christian Eriksen, Thomas Delaney and Kasper Schmeichel joined by Feyenoord striker Nicolai Jorgensen who returns having missed his country's last two group games through injury.

Denmark host the first leg of the play-off in Copenhagen on November 11th with the return game scheduled to take place in Dublin three days later.
