Charlton Athletic
striker Darren Bent has been drafted into England's squad to face
Denmark in next week's friendly after Andy Johnson(hamstring injury) was
ruled out by injury picked up in Crystal Palace's 1-1 draw at Norwich
City on Saturday. Arsenal's Sol Campbell who has failed to recover from
a calf injury and Tottenham captain Ledley King(groin problem) are both
unavailable.
Injuries have forced Danish coach Morten
OIsen into making some changes. Captain Thomas Helveg, who moved to
Borussia Monchengladbach from Norwich this summer, has been replaced by
his teammate in the German Bundesliga club Kasper Bogelund. Everton
defender Per Kroldrup and AaB Aalborg's midfielder have been replaced by
West Bromwich's Thomas Gaardsoe and Werder Bremen's Daniel Jensen
respectively.
