Nicklas Bendtner is a doubt for Denmark's friendly against Germany in September. The 22-year-old striker underwent surgery on his injured groin in November last year but it failed to completely the eradicate the problem and he subsequently missed both the end of the Premier League season as well as the start of Denmark's World Cup campaign in which they failed to make it out of their group.

Denmark head coach Morten Olsen has named his final 23-man squad for this summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

Four more unfortunate players have now been axed after Olsen's original 30-man preliminary squad was reduced to 27 earlier this week.

Goalkeeper Kim Christensen, midfielders Michael Silberbauer, Michael Krohn-Dehli and striker Morten Rasmussen have been cut.

Olsen's first cull came prior to Thursday's 2-0 success over Senegal and now the 60-year-old has revised his squad again.

Denmark qualified for the 2010 World Cup by finishing ahead of teams such as Portugal, Sweden and Hungary in their qualifying group, but the Danes are still only seen as underdogs at this summer's showpiece.

Striker Soren Larsen is confident that his side have what it takes to survive the group stage and has pointed out that Denmark are a side to be reckoned with this summer.

Malaga defender Patrick Mtiliga hasn't played for Denmark's national side since November 2008, but the experienced full-back hasn't given up on making it into The Danish Dynamite's World Cup squad just yet.

"The international friendly against Wales in 2008 was my debut for Denmark and I haven't played for the national side since," started Mtiliga to Voetbal International.

"The team didn't put in a good performance and neither did I. However, national coach Morten Olsen recently contacted me to inform me that he's closely monitoring my progress at Malaga.
