Brian Riemer has made two changes to the starting line-up when Denmark face Portugal in the Nations League quarter-final return leg tonight in Lisbon.

Riemer was forced to make one of the changes as Joakim Maehle has gone home to his heavily pregnant girlfriend. He will be replaced from the start by Patrick Dorgu, who will get the chance to shine as left back.
