Denmark's Kasper Hjulmand reveals an attacking lineup for Euro 2024 against Slovenia. Slovenia aims for an upset with Sesko, while Eriksen returns for Denmark.

Denmark's manager, Kasper Hjulmand, has announced an attacking lineup for their upcoming Group C match against Slovenia in Euro 2024. The Danish team, aiming to kick off their campaign with a win, will feature Jonas Wind and Rasmus Hojlund in their starting eleven. This strategic move by Hjulmand showcases a more aggressive approach with both Wind and Hojlund included in a 3-5-2 formation. Denmark, the 1992 champions, are considered strong favorites against Slovenia, who are ranked 57th in the world.

Slovenia, led by goalkeeper Jan Oblak, is gearing up for only their second European Championship appearance and their first major tournament since the 2010 World Cup. The Slovenian team will rely on promising young forward Benjamin Sesko to lead their attack in a 4-4-2 setup. Coach Matjaz Kek is counting on Sesko's unique combination of height and speed to potentially cause an upset and secure Slovenia's first-ever victory over Denmark.

Christian Eriksen, Denmark's influential playmaker, is set to make his return to the European Championship following his collapse during the Euro 2020 opener against Finland. The lineups for both teams have been confirmed as:

Slovenia: Jan Oblak, Zan Karnicnik, Vanja Drkusic, Jaka Bijol, Erik Janza, Peter Stojanovic, Adam Gnezda Cerin, Timi Elsnik, Jan Mlakar, Andraz Sporar, Benjamin Sesko

Denmark: Kasper Schmeichel, Andreas Christensen, Joachim Andersen, Jannik Vestergaard, Alexander Bah, Morten Hjulmand, Pierre-Emil Hojbjerg, Victor Kristiansen, Christian Eriksen, Jonas Wind, Rasmus Hojlund

The Denmark vs. Slovenia clash promises to be an exciting encounter with both teams fielding strong lineups. Denmark's experience and attacking prowess will be tested by Slovenia's youthful energy and determination. Football fans can look forward to an engaging match as these two teams battle it out on the Euro 2024 stage.
