Tottenham midfelder Hojbjerg: Denmark players know we'll play in sauna

Tottenham midfelder Emile-Pierre Hojbjerg admits Denmark's players remain frustrated playing their Euro 2020 quarterfinal in Baku.

Denmark are to meet the Czech Republic in Baku for a place in he final four.

"You can not change so much on the sun or the humidity, but what you can change is the way you prepare for battle. This is what you consume and that you know you play in a sauna," Hojbjerg said.

"We just have to be clear and know that it will be really, really hot, but that's what it is and it's the same for everyone.

"There is a game plan that we have to go out and execute, and we will do the same, so it should probably be okay. But yes, it's getting really hot. It is extreme, but it should probably be okay."
