DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen is expected to be available for the round-of-16 match against Germany at the European Championship despite missing training because of what coach Kasper Hjulmand described as “stomach issues.” Hjulmand says Thomas Delaney also experienced the same problems. Hjulmand says “we decided that they would not train. Hopefully they will be ready for tomorrow.” Hjulmand says Eriksen traveled separately to the rest of the squad for a walk around Dortmund’s stadium, where Saturday’s match will be played, but expects him to be ready.
