Winger Dreyer, 27, has not made the trip to Scotland after waking up “feeling unwell”, explained Riemer.<\/p>\n
“I had to take the decision with my doctor to leave him back home,” said the head coach.<\/p>\n
The opening round of qualifying fixtures pitched Denmark and Scotland together in Copenhagen and the sides could not be separated in a 0-0 draw.<\/p>\n
“We play for a World Cup ticket tomorrow,” said Riemer. “And what happened in the first game, what happened in the second game and fifth game is completely irrelevant at this stage.<\/p>\n
“To sit in the changing room after and not having secured the ticket for the World Cup because we were having a hangover from a Belarus game, I don’t think that’s possible with top professional football players.<\/p>\n
“They know what it’s all about. It’s the big dream for the squad. It’s the big target for the team.<\/p>\n
“Steve Clark has done an amazing job over the last 5-6 years with the [Scotland] team, qualifying for the last two Euros. We have a great deal of respect for the opponent tomorrow, but also a lot of belief in ourselves.<\/p>\n
“I expect a game tomorrow with two teams that obviously will go for the win, for the big prize and hopefully an entertaining game with two teams that want to win. What I can tell you is that this is a huge, huge fight.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Winger Dreyer, 27, has not made the trip to Scotland after waking up “feeling unwell”, explained Riemer. “I…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145586,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-145585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
