Mathias Jensen was an unused substitute in that Nations League game but did play 18 minutes in their 2-1 defeat to Croatia on Thursday. Mikkel featured for half an hour of that defeat, with Denmark’s goal coming courtesy of former Bees man Christian Eriksen.

It has also been a successful international break for Aaron Hickey, who has been involved in both of Scotland’s wins so far.

Daniel Oyegoke scored his first international goal on his debut on Wednesday evening as he helped England under-20s to a 3-0 victory over Chile.
