Denmark star Eriksen to play against Spain

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen confirmed on Wednesday that he is ready to face Spain in the UEFA Nations League in a couple of days, after overcoming a minor thigh injury.

The Danish number 10 missed the last two weeks due to physical problems but managed to play ten minutes against Leicester City last Sunday.

"It was a slight overload as I had played a lot in a short space of time. My body needed a break, but now I'm ready for the fight," said Eriksen at the Danish national team's training camp.

At the age of 32, Eriksen remains a regular in Denmark‘s starting eleven and a key player in the Nordic team’s attack.

Denmark continues to prepare for the match against Spain, for which they will be without full-back Joakim Maehle (Wolfsburgo) due to injury, who was replaced at the last minute by Mads Roerslev (Brentford).

Spain arrives at Friday's match at Copenhagen's Parken already qualified for the quarterfinals but has not yet secured first place.

Denmark, which is second with 3 points less than Spain, could snatch first place with a victory, although they will also be keeping an eye on the match between Switzerland and Serbia, the Danes' last opponent and who still aspire to finish second in the group.
