The leader of Group C, England, is coming off a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Serbia, while Denmark is looking to bounce back after a 1-1 draw with Slovenia. Kickoff is at 6 pm local time at Frankfurt's Waldstadion.

The teams share a storied rivalry, having last met in the Euro 2020 semifinal, where England edged out Denmark 2-1 in extra time. Denmark's coach, Kasper Hjulmand, hasn't forgotten the controversial penalty awarded to England, which Harry Kane converted after a rebound.

Denmark, meanwhile, reports no injury concerns. The match outcomes will significantly impact their respective paths in the tournament.
