Denmark have named John Jensen temporary first-team coach for Wednesday's friendly with Slovakia, as an unspecified squad of players heads to Bratislava.
Plans for Denmark's games with Slovakia and the UEFA Nations League clash with Wales have been thrown into disarray by a dispute between the Danish Football Association (DBU) and the senior players.
A row over commercial rights has led to concerns the squad will boycott the coming matches, meaning the DBU could risk a substantial UEFA fine and suspension from tournaments if the games are forfeited.
With head coach Age Hareide also involved in the dispute, Denmark have decided to place former midfielder Jensen in charge of the team for Wednesday's game, which could reportedly include uncapped players from lower leagues or even futsal professionals.
