Knudsen clarifies Denmark's decision to overlook Brentford midfielder Jensen

Denmark has announced their squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Switzerland and Serbia next month.

On Jensen's absence, Knudsen explained: "Mathias has done fantastically well for the team, both when he has played, but he is also a fantastic character off the pitch, where he brings an incredible amount to the team.

"So it has been a difficult choice not to bring him, but we have simply chosen to see some other types this time and other profiles to see what it can bring us."

Knudsen and Daniel Agger are acting as co-coaches after Kasper Hjulmand stepped down this summer.
