Danish national women's football team is set to commence their World Cup qualification campaign in March with matches against Serbia and Italy, but they will be without two key midfielders, Janni Thomsen and Emma Snerle, who are sidelined due to injuries. The team, selected by head coach Jakob Michelsen, consists of 22 players and reflects the challenges faced by coaches in maintaining a full roster when injuries and suspensions affect player availability.

In previous matches, both Thomsen and Snerle had proven to be valuable players, significantly contributing to Denmark's successful run in the playoffs last autumn, which saw them secure a spot in the top tier of European football. Michelsen commented on the situation, acknowledging that injuries are an inevitable part of football, which often leads to changes in team composition from one gathering to the next. The team’s selection underscores the priority placed on fielding the strongest possible squad from available players.

Alongside Thomsen and Snerle, other notable absences from the squad include Karen Holmgaard, Cornelia Kramer, and Signe Bruun, all dealing with physical issues. However, there is a possibility for Bruun to reclaim a spot on the roster, as Michelsen has left one position open for potential inclusion later in the week. This situation highlights the dynamic nature of team management in the lead-up to critical international fixtures, as coaches continue to adapt to the realities of player fitness and availability while aiming for competitive performance in qualification matches.
