Starting as expected Kjaer (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Czech Republic.

Impact There wasn't a major worry on Kjaer's status, as he's been dealing with a muscle issue since the tournament began and he's started all four matches. He can go a full 90 if needed, but as seen last match, he could subbed off if Denmark are ahead by a couple goals late in the match.

Should be good for quarter-final Kjaer (hamstring) is expected to be available for the July 3 quarter-final against Czech Republic, head coach Kasper Hjulmand revealed to the media.

Impact Kjaer has battled through some minor issues the last couple weeks, but he's started all four matches for Denmark and that's all that matters. With a week between matches, he should get enough rest to recharge his muscles and be ready for the quarter-final matchup.

Subs off early in win Kjaer was subbed off in the 77th minute of Saturday's win against Wales with a hamstring issue.

Impact Kjaer entered Saturday's match with some injury worry and that same issue likely forced him out early. The hope is that it's not a complete pull and he was subbed off as a precaution. If he can't start, Joachim Andersen is most likely to step into the back line next round.

Battling through minor issue Kjaer has received treatment throughout the week for an undisclosed injury, but he'll be ready to face Wales on Saturday, reports TV2.

Impact There isn't much of a worry for Kjaer, who played through the injury Monday and went the full 90 in the win against Russia. He's started all three group matches, supplying minimal fantasy value as a center-back and should remain there against Wales with a shot at the team's first clean sheet.

Takes two shots in win Kjaer took two shots (one on goal) and created one chance during Monday's 4-1 win over Russia.

Impact Kjaer has yet to keep a clean sheet in the tournament but he's done well to lead the Danish squad to the knockout rounds. So long as he continues to complete matches, Kjaer offers decent defensive value even if up against stronger opponents.
