Tomasson misses Denmark qualifier

Denmark manager Morten Olsen will have to do without striker Jon Dahl Tomasson for the upcoming World Cup qualifier with Malta.

This was announced by the coach at a press conference on Friday.

Tomasson is currently dealing with a knee injury, that had already left him out of Feyenoord’s UEFA Cup clash with Kalmar FF and a league game against NEC Nijmegen.

The player hoped to return in time for the qualifier, but hasn’t recovered fast enough: “I am actually in good shape at the moment, and that doesn’t make it any less annoying that I have to give up,” he said.

Fortunately for the attacker, he misses only one World Cup qualifier as Denmark won’t play another official game until March.
