Denmark have announced their final squad for Euro 2024 and fans can't believe one player hasn't made the cut.

Denmark are grouped with England, Serbia and Slovenia in Group C as they open their campaign against the Slovenians on June 16.

Ahead of the competition in Germany, Denmark boss Kasper Hjulmand has named his 26-man squad and he's snubbed a big name.

He's left out Celtic's Matt O'Riley but has selected the likes of Manchester United pair Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund as well as Tottenham's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Brentford trio Mikkel Damsgaard, Christian Norgaard and Mathias Jensen and former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen are also included.

The omission of O'Riley sent social media wild.

One X user wrote: "Matt O'Riley being left out is quite a damning indictment when you consider he can't get into a 26 man squad that consists of Brentford jobbers and a 32 year old that could barely manage half the season in Belgium."

A second added: "Absolutely pathetic that Matt O'Riley hasn't been called up."

A third tweeted: "Some of these inclusions over matt o'riley is just plain embarrassing really."

This season, the star midfielder made 49 appearances in all competitions for Celtic, scoring 19 goals.

The 23-year-old is eligible to play for England, Norway and Denmark, but the player sees himself as Danish.

"I played for England youth teams but at the same time, I do feel quite Danish," he said. "My mum is Danish and I can speak a decent amount and I can understand a very good amount.

"In that sense, I don't think it is out of the question at all. If I did get a call up from Denmark, I don't think I'd be saying no."

He has represented Denmark at senior level on two occasions, having played for England at under-16 and under-18 level.
