Brian Riemer on Monday presented his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Scotland and Greece which did not include the 33-year-old Eriksen who is still without a club.

Instead Victor Jensen will get the chance to get his debut for the Danish senior national team.

The 25-year-old attacking midfielder has had a fantastic start to the season in Utrecht with eight goals in eight matches - three in the Eredivisie and five in the Europa League qualifiers.

Gustav Isaksen is unavailable after being plagued by illness.
