Denmark in shape after work-out

Denmark coach Kenneth Heiner-Møller takes his squad to England for two friendies over the next week relieved that his injury list is shortening with UEFA WOMEN'S EURO 2009™ little more than a month away.

Coach happy
When Heiner-Møller gathered his squad on 10 July seven players were unable to train, not counting Mariann Gajhede and Christina Ørntoft who have already been ruled out of the finals. However, ahead of Sunday's meeting with Iceland in Staines and the game against England in Swindon four days later only substitute goalkeeper Tine Cederkvist and defender Camilla Sand are still sidelined. "There is no doubt that all the injured players will be fit for the EURO," Heiner-Møller said before leaving their traditional training camp in Vildbjerg "With a training environment like we have here, it is difficult to be a pessimist." After the games in England, Denmark play Scotland in Gladsaxe on 14 August, nine days before their finals opener against Finland in Helsinki.
