Morten Olsen has named the 23-strong squad that he hopes will take Denmark into the latter stages of the 2010 World Cup.

Despite the 1-0 reverse against fellow qualifiers Australia, the Danes who will be led from the front by Jon Dahl Tomasson and Arsenal’s Nicklas Bendtner, have proven tournament ability having won Euro 1992 after coming in as late replacements for Yugoslavia.

Simon Kjaer suffered a knee injury against Senegal and will continue to be monitored to discover the extent if the damage. The Palermo defender is a key cog in the Danish defensive wheel.
