​Bournemouth midfielder Billing ready for Denmark debut

Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing is ready to make his debut for Denmark.

The 23-year-old, who has shown for the Cherries in the Premier League in the first eight games of this season, has not played for his country yet.

He is now on his third call up, and he is hoping that it will be the moment that allows him to get on the pitch for Denmark for the first time.

Denmark play Luxembourg in a friendly tomorrow evening.

Billing told the Daily Echo: "If I got my debut now it would be about time to be fair!

"I've been there a few times and it would be nice to get my debut for my country and that's what you dream of since being a kid. Hopefully it will happen this time.

"You never know whether it's going to be this time or not, but all I can do is work hard and see what happens.

"It's positive to be in there (the squad), but obviously I'm not just happy to get called up. I want to play as well, that's why I'm there and hopefully this time I will get my debut."
