Denmark coach Morten Olsen is determined to make the most of his limited forward options for Wednesday s friendly with Turkey in Odense.
Star man Nicklas Bendtner has only played 20 minutes of the 2014-15 season after signing as a free agent at Wolfsburg following his release from Arsenal.
Copenhagen s Andreas Cornelius and Gothenburg s Lasse Vibe make up the remainder of Olsen s forward options and the coach will be keen to see how his strikers fare ahead of a Euro 2016 qualifier with Armenia on Sunday.
Let s see what he [Bendtner] shows in training, he said. It was important for him that he made his debut. But he has only played 20 minutes and I did not get much out of watching.

CSKA are set to welcome Lokomotiv at the VEB Arena in Moscow in the Russian Premier League on Saturday evening, in what will be apart of the second round of the 2021-22 season.
CSKA Moscow
It s been quite a while since we ve last seen a season without CSKA Moscow in a European competition, but this will be one after they finished the previous campaign in sixth place with 50 points, six short of a place in the Europa League. Nonetheless, they started well enough this time around, beating FC Ufa in the opener by 1-0, courtesy of a strike by Anton Zabolotnyi. The three points at the start of the season are of huge importance, but on the other hand, it wasn t a very convincing performance against a team which usually sits in the bottom hal…

Signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid does not have any impact on expectations for Juventus in the 2018-19 season, says Massimiliano Allegri.
Portugal captain Ronaldo joined Juve in a deal worth €112million, committing through to 2022 with the Serie A champions after ending a nine-year stay in the Spanish capital.
Ronaldo s arrival has largely been seen as an attempt to win the Champions League, the 33-year-old having helped Madrid to the title four times in the last five years.
The Italian giants were last kings of Europe back in 1996 and have lost in two of the last four finals, most recently when Ronaldo scored twice in Madrid s 4-1 success in Cardiff in 2017.
Allegri, though, denied that Juve s focus will be on Europe after the blockbuster sig…
Walter Smith refused to blame player burnout after Rangers saw their lead at the top of the Scottish Premier League reduced to one point as Inverness Caledonian Thistle struck late to snatch a 1-1 draw at Ibrox.

But despite chances to increase their lead it was substitute Eric Odhiambo who prodded home the equaliser eight minutes from time as Inverness remain undefeated away from home since November 2009.
Rangers were aiming for their best start to a season for 112 years but the Ibrox side have had a tough run of games with matches against Champions League rivals Valencia, Celtic, a League Cup quarter-final against Kilmarnock and Inverness i…
Frank Lampard is convinced Timo Werner will become a Premier League hit, with the Chelsea boss vowing: He will score a lot of goals for us.
Four goals and four assists from 14 league games is a modest return for a player whose 28 goals and eight assists in the Bundesliga last season made him a must-get player for the Blues.
Lampard s faith in Werner is nevertheless absolute, exemplified by the fact the German forward has started every league game this season for Chelsea, who head to struggling Arsenal on Boxing Day.
Where could be better to get back to scoring ways than at Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal have struggled desperately for results this season?
Clearly, as a striker, you want to be scoring all the time, because you get judged, Lampard said. T…
