The Denmark players will not train at the Parken Stadium ahead of their Euro 2020 clash with Belgium, but some of them will visit the arena in an attempt to put the traumatic events of Christian Eriksen’s collapse behind them.

Danish playmaker Eriksen suffered a heart attack on the pitch against Finland on Saturday, and the Danes have been working to recover from that shock ahead of their Group B clash with Belgium on Thursday.

Teams usually train at the match arena the day before a game, but the Danes chose to remain at their base in the coastal town of Helsingor, about 45km from Parken.

“We are not training in Parken, but we will have a bus going in there for everyone who thinks it is a good idea to get back and just be there and see everything again, and

be there for the first time since Saturday, so that is a possibility for all of us,” Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand said on Wednesday.

The Danes have had psychologists and crisis counsellors helping the players who witnessed their stricken teammate receiving CPR on the pitch before being taken to hospital for treatment where he is still recovering.

“The hospital is right next to Parken and probably he will be able to hear everything (against Belgium), so that’s a crazy situation for Christian. Yeah I think he will be in his shirt and watch the game,” Hjulmand said.

With Eriksen recovering well and telling his teammates they should re-focus on the tournament, Hjulmand said the players are able to move forward “with a clean conscience”.

The Danes now face arguably their toughest game in Group B against top-ranked Belgium as they try to get their campaign back on track.

“There is no doubt that we are underdogs. We are up against a world-class team ... they are one of the teams that would remind you most of a club side in terms of their flexibility and clarity,” Hjulmand said.

“We have to reach a high level as a team, and we must also reach a high level individually. I’m pretty certain that we are going to play a strong game.”

Ban on Austria player 

Austria will be without forward Marko Arnautovic for Thursday’s match against The Netherlands after he was handed a one-match ban by Uefa.

An investigation was opened by Uefa after Arnautovic’s angry goal celebration in Austria’s opening win over North Macedonia after coming on as a substitute on Sunday.

Arnautovic, who has Serbian background, apologised on Monday for his reaction towards North Macedonia fans but denied he had used racist language towards them.

North Macedonia’s soccer governing body said Arnautovic’s remarks were aimed at their player Gjanni Alioski, who has Albanian roots.

The Uefa Appeals Body said on Wednesday it had suspended Arnautovic for “insulting” another player.
