MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Christian Eriksen will set a record for most appearances for Denmark in the Euro 2024 Group C match with Serbia in Munich on Tuesday, with the midfielder playing his 133rd international game.
Eriksen will have one more cap than defender Simon Kjaer who is on the bench and would tie for the record again if he comes on.
Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand makes just one change from the side which held England to a 1-1 draw in their last game, with Alexander Bah replacing Victor Kristiansen in midfield.
Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic makes three changes, with striker Dusan Vlahovic dropped to the bench after failing to impress in the previous two games, with Lazar Samardzic coming in.
Srdjan Mijailovic and Nemanja Gudelj are the newcomers in midfield replacing Filip Mladenovic and Dusan Tadic.
