Danish Coach Riemer Warns Eriksen’s Club Future Poses Big Problem For National Team

‎Denmark national team coach, Brian Riemer says it has become a major issue for Denmark that Christian Eriksen has not yet secured a new club.

‎Eriksen’s contract with Manchester United expired on June 30, and he has been without a team since then. He has been linked with several clubs, but nothing has been finalised.

‎On Monday, Brian Riemer selects the Danish national team squad for the matches against Scotland and Greece, and he won’t reveal whether the squad will include Eriksen.

‎It’s far from an ideal situation that the midfield maestro is still looking for a new club, admits Riemer, who is working hard to finalize preparations for the World Cup qualifiers in September.

‎”Of course, it is a big problem for Christian and us that a player with over 140 international caps who has done a fantastic job for this nation for many years suddenly finds himself in this difficult situation. It will also be a problem for us. It would be completely crazy of me to say otherwise.”

‎”Christian has not been able to find the right place yet, and that means that since we parted ways in June, he has not trained at a club and he has not played any matches. If I said it was not a challenge, it would all be completely irrelevant”, Riemer tells TV 2 Sport.

‎The Danish national team will gather in Helsingør on 1 September, then play Scotland at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen four days later.

‎On 8 September, Denmark will take on Greece away.
