There were several surprises in the 25-man squad that Danish national team coach Brian Riemer today presented for the upcoming World Cup qualifying playoff matches. Among the players selected were Bodo/Glimt's striker Kasper Hogh, as well as goalkeepers Frederik Ronnow and Andreas Jungdal.

Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh was selected for the 25-man squad that Danish national team coach Brian Riemer has chosen for Denmark's crucial World Cup qualifying match against North Macedonia and a potential playoff final afterwards.
