Daniel Agger focused on Denmark duties

Liverpool and Denmark centre-back Daniel Agger has insisted that he will be fully focused on his international duties when his country take on England in a friendly on Wednesday.

Liverpool are currently in the midst of their strongest title challenge in recent years, having moved up to second in the Premier League table at the weekend.

However, Agger is keen to focus on one game at a time and is looking forward to stepping away from club worries while he is away with Denmark.

"I think as a footballer you have to look at the next game, and the next game is against England for Denmark, so I can put [thoughts on the title] away for a bit, and as soon as that game is finished, back to Liverpool," Agger told reporters.

Agger also backed teammate Raheem Sterling to earn his place in England's World Cup squad this summer.
