Denmark have no injury concerns for their tournament opener, with all of their key players expected to be available.
Head coach Kasper Hjulmand is set to choose between young forwards Kasper Dolberg and Jonas Wind to lead Denmark's attack.
Finland striker Teemu Pukki sustained an ankle injury in May but returned to play 30 minutes of their final warm-up game versus Estonia.
Captain Tim Sparv will be assessed.

Something serious going on with Christian Eriksen
Shit man.
They trying to resuscitate him on the pitch
Chest compressions been going on for ages
Poor sod
This is shocking.
This is quite sobering, especially after our lads being criticised for their lack of intensity in 30 degrees. Horrendous situation.
very emotional response by female football pundit with Gary Linekar
Very upset
Awful, just awful.
Praying for you Christian
Truly awful.
Please pull through.

Sad scenes, hope he makes it through. Bar a hospital its probably the best place for it to happen.
Puts everything into perspective, feel so much for him and his family.
I wasnt watching. That doesn't look good. There seems to be an eerie silence on twitter and elsewhere.
Id turned over to see the score and there was a gardening programme on. Wondered what was going on?
imagine the trauma his wife must have gone through watching him collapse
Kin hell , poor woman
Hopefully he's alright! If there is a positive, apart from having heart problems in a+e , in the middle of a football pitch is probably the best place. Would have been in the care of the pros within minutes
Uefa say he's been transferred to hospital and has been stabilised. Which if true is promising news
There is also a picture going around of him awake on the stretcher but I'm not trusting that. Waiting for official updates
Eufa update at 18.45
Danish Football Union confirm he's awake
Christian Eriksen is awake and is for further examinations at Rigshospitalet.
The match is temporarily postponed. New message comes at 19.45.
Danish FA says he's awake.
Thanks Mike, as you say, that sounds a bit hopeful. I didn’t see what happened and was trying to work which Danish player was receiving treatment, turns out it was their best outfield player.
The Danish FA have said Eriksen is awake and waiting more tests in hospital.
Stable in hospital fingers crossed 🤞
The Danish FA says Christian Eriksen is awake and waiting more tests in hospital.
The picture I mention has appeared on Getty Images so I'm happy it's genuine. He was awake when sat on stretcher.
What an amazing job from the medical team because when they got to him it looked bleak.
