Injured defender Simon Kjaer has been included in Denmark's final 23-man squad for the World Cup finals.

The 21-year-old suffered a knee injury during Denmark's 2-0 friendly win against Senegal on Thursday and will undergo scans later this week to reveal the extent of damage to his ligaments.

The Palermo defender would be boss Morten Olsen's first choice to partner Liverpool's Daniel Agger in central defence should he be fit.
