Tim Sherwood: 'Kyle Walker to miss Denmark friendly'

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Tim Sherwood has said that right-back Kyle Walker will not feature in England's friendly against Denmark on Wednesday.

Walker missed Sunday's 1-0 win over Cardiff City with a hip problem and, although the 23-year-old is still expected to link up with the Three Lions next week, he will not play any part in the match at Wembley.

Speaking after watching his side beat Cardiff, Sherwood said: "Kyle won't be fit to play for England. He was not fit to play here today, so he won't be fit for England either.

"I'm not sure, but he probably will [link up with England] as they will be training at our complex in the early part of the week. We're just hoping to nurse him back to fitness for next week, so we'll see how that goes.

"Christian Eriksen won't be ready for Denmark either, by the way, after his back problem."

Walker's absence means that Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson is likely to win his 50th senior international cap for England.
