Christian Eriksen has complained after being substituted in the 62nd minute during Denmark’s victory over Switzerland.
The midfielder was anticipating enjoying a longer period on the pitch having scarcely featured for Man Utd this season.
So there was surprise when Eriksen’s number was displayed on the fourth official’s board with a little under half an hour remaining. The score at the time was goalless, although Denmark went on to win 2-0.
“Now, I haven’t had that many minutes during the season, so I thought he would look after me a bit,” Eriksen said.
“But it wasn’t today that I needed to be looked after.
“Apparently, that’s what he (interim boss Lars Knudsen) decided. I have already said that (he didn’t need to take me off),” he adds with a smile.
“I definitely am (ready to play against Serbia). Then, we’ll have to see what he chooses.”
Knudsen explained that he wanted to manage Eriksen’s minutes.
