Liverpool nut Callum Robinson is hoping that Christian Eriksen suffers a Champions League hangover.
But he warned the Tottenham ace won’t be the only dangerman Ireland face away to Denmark on Friday.
The Danish star is reeling following the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in Saturday’s damp squib final in Madrid.
The Irish squad watched the game together at their Castleknock Hotel base in Dublin as preparations intensify for the Euro 2020 clash in Copenhagen.
And all eyes will be on Eriksen - still heavily linked with Real Madrid - in the build up to see if Saturday’s defeat has knocked the wind from his sails.
Quizzed about a possible Champions League hangover, Robinson said: “Well, I hope he does!
“He's obviously a very good player and we've got him Friday so we've got to get ready for him and his ability.
“He's a very good player. Left foot, right foot, technique, free kicks. That's why he plays for Tottenham and is playing in Champions League finals.”
Preston attacker Robinson continued: “Denmark have some good players and the lad from Ajax (Lasse Schone) Is a really good player.
“I remember playing against him in the Aviva and that's not even mentioning Eriksen, Pione Sisto and players like that.
“These are good quality players and it's going to be a challenge but I believe in our boys because we've got some really good quality.
“It’s going to be a challenge, but hopefully we can get something from the game - and try get a win before Gibraltar at the Aviva.
“The lads will be positive after two good results in March and there's nothing to lose.”
Robinson was forced out of those March games because of a hamstring injury that required surgery.
But he finished the season with a flourish, bagging three goals in North’s End’s last five games.
“I was gutted because I’ve never been injured before - I missed one game in five years of first-team football,” he said.
“But my tendon ruptured and come away from my hamstring, off the bone. It wasn’t a nice one. If it had just been my hamstring I wouldn’t have needed an operation.”
