Denmark has received a boost ahead of their match with the Netherlands (to start momentarily) as striker Nicklas Bendtner has passed a pre-match fitness test to make Morten Olsen’s starting lineup.
Bendtner’s groin injury made him a probable exclusion from the Danish side that opens their World Cup today against the Netherlands in Johannesburg; however, the striker will not be in the team, playing the central striker in Olsen’s 4-3-3, after showing himself fit during warm-ups.
