Denmark must today try to focus on the job at hand as they face Belgium in a crucial Euro 2020 group game.
The players returned to the pitch in Copenhagen less than two hours after Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest, eventually losing 1-0 to Finland to leave their tournament hopes hanging up a thread.
Belgium, the world’s top-ranked nation, can secure their spot in the knockout stage with another win, having brushed Russia aside in the first round. Both Kevin De Bruyne and Axel Witsel could return.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Denmark vs Belgium is scheduled for a 5pm BST kick-off on Thursday, June 17, 2021.
The match will be held at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.

It is perfectly understandable to expect Denmark to struggle with focus given the events of the last few days.
I expect Belgium to have too much for their hosts, running out 2-0 winners.
