Team News: Christian Eriksen returns for Denmark

Christian Eriksen returns for Denmark

Christian Eriksen has returned to the Denmark starting XI for their final Euro 2016 qualifier against Portugal.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder missed their last outing - a 0-0 draw with Armenia - through injury, but Morten Olsen has restored the midfielder for their crucial tie with Portugal.

Meanwhile, Portugal have made a number of changes despite emerging as 1-0 victors over Albania in their last outing.

Miguel Veloso, who scored the only goal that evening, has been replaced by Tiago. Joao Moutinho partners the Atletico Madrid man in midfield, while Danilo will play in an unfamiliar right-wing role as he replaces Danny.

There are three changes in defence, with Cedric Soares, Bruno Alves and Fabio Coentrao preferred to Vieirinha, Pepe and Eliseu.

A win for either side tonight will confirm their passage to next summer's tournament.

Portugal: Patricio; Soares, Alves, Carvalho, Coentrao; Tiago, Moutinho; Danilo, Silva, Nani; Ronaldo

Denmark: Schmeichel; Jacobsen, Kjaer, Agger, Durmisi; Wass, Hojbjerg, Krohn-Delhi; Braithwaite, Bendtner, Eriksen
