«Breaking News» Denmark players return to training ahead of Wales clash after resolution found in row with Danish FA

Christian Eriksen and the rest of Denmark's stars have returned to training after a resolution was found in their row with the Danish FA (DBU). 

A temporary deal was announced on Thursday between the players' association and the DBU that will see Eriksen and Co face Wales on Sunday in their UEFA Nations League opener.

Eriksen and Co had previously refused to sign a new national team agreement in a dispute with the DBU over commercial rights, with the Tottenham midfielder's personal situation part of the conflict, as reported by Sport Witness and TV2.

With no progress made, Denmark were forced into fielding lower league and futsal players in the 3-0 friendly defeat to Slovakia on Wednesday.

However, Thursday's resolution meant a host of stars returned to full training at Ceres Park, Aarhus, on Saturday in preparation for Sunday's clash with Wales.

Eriksen and his team-mates were pictured laughing and joking during the session, while Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel took part in a series of shot-stopping drills. 

And in his press conference looking ahead to Sunday's game, Schmeichel owned up to a 'difficult week' for Danish football that almost saw Denmark field a team of part-time players against Wales in the UEFA Nations League. 

'I think for us it's about winning the game and playing well,' Schmeichel said at Denmark's pre-match press conference.

'I am sure everyone will get behind us. It's been a difficult week, but that's life.

'It's just about getting on with it now and we will be ready.'

The Danish trio presented at the pre-match press conference - manager Age Hareide, captain Simon Kjaer and Schmeichel - were reluctant to talk about the affair which had turned Denmark into the laughing stock of international football.

But Hareide said the episode meant his squad, which reached the last 16 of the World Cup in Russia and are ranked ninth by FIFA, had been limited to only two training sessions before the Wales game.

'It is a little less than we normally have, but it's OK,' Hareide said. 'There are players here who have been here for two years, so I am not too worried about that.

'All the players are fit and experienced. There are no worries about that. No excuses.'

Wales have had their own problems before the game after thrashing the Republic of Ireland 4-1 in their Nations League opener.

Ryan Giggs' squad were delayed from leaving Cardiff Airport because of a technical fault with their plane and were not due to arrive in Aarhus until the early hours of Sunday morning.

But Schmeichel admits he has been impressed by Wales under new boss Giggs, a former Manchester United team-mate of his father Peter.

'Look at the last game and you can see the flair and spark that they play with,' he said.

'It's very similar to the DNA he inherited at Manchester United and it will be very interesting to see what he can bring.

'He's got a very talented squad with Wales. It is something that Gary Speed started, Chris Coleman worked really well, and now Ryan is putting his own stamp on it.

'Gareth Bale is obviously a world class player, but it would be disrespectful to focus on just him because Wales is full of very good players.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
