Denmark are determined to squeeze into the knockout stage of Euro 2020 with a win against Russia in their final Group B match on Monday, after recovering with poise from the shock of Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest.

Despite losing 2-1 to a Belgian side aided by the return of Kevin de Bruyne, a flood of supportive messages for Eriksen and the catharsis of Yussuf Poulsen's early goal against the world's top side seemed to put the trauma of Denmark's opening match behind them.

Despite so far playing on home turf in St Petersburg, Russia have failed to rekindle the magic of their quarter-final run at the 2018 World Cup in matches that have highlighted a porous defence and a lukewarm attack. "We're going to get through the group stage," Braithwaite said after the loss to Belgium. "With this team there are no limits."

Russia's lack of depth and the talent gap with Europe's top sides leave Cherchesov with few attacking options beyond captain Artyom Dzyuba.
