Isaksen, who was sidelined with mononucleosis, and Christian Nørgaard, who was injured, are also back in the squad. Other returning players include Mads Roerslev and Jonas Wind. Denmark's fixtures against Belarus and Greece are scheduled for October 9 and October 12, respectively.

Gustav Isaksen

Most recently, Utrecht's Victor Jensen was selected for the squad for the first time, but since then, he has sustained a serious knee injury, which still keeps him out.

William Osula and Jacob Bruun Larsen were added to the squad last time, but neither of them has been selected this time. Also, Albert Gronbaek failed to make the squad this time. 

Andreas Skov Olsen and Kasper Dolberg were both selected last time, but are out with injuries this time.
