At the Energi Nord Arena in Aalbor, Denmark and Senegal will meet for a friendly match at 18:15 GMT. The European side will test their plans against an African side ahead of the World Cup.

Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner celebrates with his mates.Denmark don't want to repeat Portugal's total failure against Cape Verde earlier in the week. They Danes are looking forward to getting the right result against the Senegalese who stunned 'slow' Greece 2-0 on March 3 this year. Talking about team news, Thomas Sorensen's inclusion in tonight's clash is largely in doubt whereas Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner has definitely been ruled out.

The impressive striker is yet to recover fully from a groin injury. As his replacement, Morten Rasmussen may have the chance to prove his value for the Danish national football team. Rasmussen was included in the team's 30-man squad with the certainty of not making it into the final 23.

 

So as Denmark prepare to test their plans against an African team as they'll have to affront the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in the first round of the 2010 FIFA World in South Africa, Senegal are looking forward to turning things around. At club level like internationally, the country has been in serious problems. Those were translated by the team's failure to participate in January's 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and to qualify for the World Cup which will be the first staged in Africa.

Denmark are expected to warm-up against Australia on May 31 and against South Africa on June 04 before playing the Netherlands to open their 2010 World Cup campaign on June 14. Meanwhile, Senegal will commence their hunt to reach the next Africa Cup of Nations with a game away to Congo on September 3.
