Official! Benfica player called up, but misses the World Cup | OneFootball

It’s official. Alexander Bah has returned to the Denmark national team squad for the friendly matches next June, maintaining his status as one of the most important figures in Brian Riemer’s side.

The right-back from the Club of Light continues to play a prominent role and has once again been selected for the warm-up games ahead of the next international commitments, despite the Nordic side not taking part in the 2026 World Cup.

On June 3, Denmark will face the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Portugal’s opponent in Group K, in a match to be played in Belgium, before returning to Danish soil to take on Ukraine on June 7 in Odense.

Despite the serious injury he suffered recently, the footballer - who was recently criticised by Tomás da Cunha - is seen as a key piece in the team’s collective balance, standing out for his leadership, organisational ability and influence on the pitch, factors that guarantee him a place in the squad.

This season, playing for Benfica, Alexander Bah - valued at €9 million - made nine appearances, all in Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 477 minutes he was on the pitch, the right winger scored two goals.
