Stuttgart's Nartey Makes Danish National Team Debut - Denmark Names World Cup Squad, Including Bundesliga Star Nikolas Nartey
Denmark's national football team has announced a 24-player squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Belarus and Scotland. The team, led by head coach Kasper Hjulmand, includes a notable new addition: VfB Stuttgart's Nikolas Nartey, who has been called up for the first time.
Nartey's inclusion comes as a replacement for injured Wolfsburg player Joakim Mæhle. The 22-year-old Ghanaian-born defender has been impressing in the Bundesliga and could make his debut for the Danish national team in the crucial qualifiers. Denmark currently tops Group C, with Scotland closely behind in second place.
The squad boasts several experienced players, such as Christian Eriksen, Jonas Wind, and Rasmus Kristensen, who play or have played in the Bundesliga. Denmark will be looking to improve on their performances in recent tournaments, including a group-stage exit at the last World Cup and a round-of-16 defeat to Germany in Euro 2024.
With the World Cup qualifiers approaching, Denmark's squad is shaping up to be a strong contender. The inclusion of Nartey adds fresh talent to the mix, and the team will be eager to secure victories against Belarus and Scotland to maintain their lead in Group C.
