Denmark have two games at Brentford’s Community Stadium, their first match against Germany and their final group game against Spain, while they also face Finland at Stadium MK.
Vanheaevermaet has been named in Belgium’s squad where they will look to qualify in a group including Iceland, France and Italy.
