Denmark boss Morten Olsen has confirmed that winger Dennis Rommedahl will miss Sunday's Euro 2012 Group B encounter with Germany.
The Danes need to secure all three points if they are to progress to the next round, but they will be without the 33-year-old.
"As it looks now, Dennis out of the game against Germany, muscle injuries like this take time," Morten told reporters.
Rommedahl has 118 international caps to his name.
