Lots of headaches for Julian Nagelsmann ahead of Germany’s Saturday night clash against Denmark in the EURO 2024 Round of 16.Antonio Rudiger’s thigh injury still worries Die Mannschaft’s coaching staff, especially since Jonathan Tah, the other member of the central-defending duo, will be absent due to a yellow-card suspension.He will likely be replaced by Nico Schlotterbeck.##NAJAVA_MECA_8185818##But those are not the only issues the home team is facing ahead of tonight’s battle in Dortmund.Arsenal forward Kai Havertz is entirely out of the expected form and is likely to be left on the bench, as Niclas Fullkrug seems predestined to start against Denmark.Fullkrug was an impact sub during the group stages, managing to get two goals to his name. He scored the fourth in Germany’s 5-1 win against Scotland, as well as the crucial equalizer in the final group game against Switzerland to ensure Germany topped the group.Arsenal’s star should be benched according to a Bild pollSky Sports Germany, however, reports that Naglesmann could even use a Fullkrug-Havertz duo in the starting XI, and leave young Florian Wirtz of Bayer Leverkusen on the bench.”Denmark is a very well-organized team. There are phases where they are very aggressive on defence, and then they make excellent one-touch attacks. There are many experienced players in the team and a clear structure. A tough opponent, for sure, the stadium in Dortmund is very loud, and I have experienced that many times as an opposing coach. I hope that we will have a similar noise now”, said Nagelsman.EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP – 1/8 FINALSSaturday19.00: (3.40) Switzerland (3.00) Italy (2.55)22.00: (1.65) Germany (4.00) Denmark (6.10)Sunday19.00: (1.45) England (4.50) Slovakia (9.50)22.00: (1.25) Spain (6.50) Georgia (15.0)Monday19.00: (1.95) France (3.40) Belgium (4.70)22.00: (1.43) Portugal (4.75) Slovenia (9.10)Tuesday19.00: (8.25) Romania (4.30) Netherlands (1.50)22.00: (1.95) Austria (3.50) Turkey (4.50)***odds are subject to change***
