Tottenham Hotspur may benefit as a result of the bizarre image rights row between the Danish football team and its FA.

Top stars such as Christian Eriksen and Kasper Schmeichel are set to return to their clubs early, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Apparently they feel as though there’s little point in hanging around.

Denmark fielded a team of ‘third and fourth division players’ against Slovakia, as the commercial dispute rumbles on.

This is something that has been going on for over a year.

But tensions seem to have reached new levels, with Spurs man Eriksen at the centre of the feud.

The midfielder partly owns his own energy drinks firm, which conflicts with Denmark’s main sponsor Carlsberg.

Blessing in disguise for Tottenham?

The fact that Eriksen will likely not feature for his country against Wales could make for good news for Spurs.

The former Ajax man has made a slow start to the new season.

Eriksen, of course, shone for Denmark at the World Cup as they respectably reached the quarter-finals.

It was a long summer for the £11 million signing, and he appears to have been jaded as a result in Tottenham’s opening matches.

That said, Tottenham’s English contingent also went far in Russia.

Spurs will be glad that Eriksen won’t have to feature, with a very tough match against Liverpool on the horizon.

Spurs need him firing

Tottenham need their best midfielder firing on all cylinders.

On his day, few can match Eriksen in terms of playmaking.

He is an outstanding talent, capable of putting chances on a silver platter for the likes of Harry Kane and Lucas Moura.
