In the evening, Foxes shot-stopper Schmeichel started from the off as the Danes beat Gibraltar in Group D of the UEFA 2020 European Championship qualifiers.

The 32-year-old 'keeper played 90 minutes at the College Cosmos Stadium, as Hoffenheim’s Robert Skov handed Denmark an early lead before doubles from Christian Eriksen and Christian Gytkjaer and goal from Thomas Delaney sealed a 6-0 win.

Denmark are second in their qualification group, having collected eight points from four outings, and next face Georgia on Sunday 8 September.

Earlier in the day, young City left-back Thomas started in England Under-19s’ 3-1 friendly win over Greece Under-19s at St. George’s Park, while Daley-Campbell was an unused substitute.

Despite Greece taking the lead through Vrakas Georgios, efforts from Daniel Adshead, Ryan Edmondson and Thomas Doyle secured a triumph in front of on-watching England manager Gareth Southgate.

Thomas and Daley-Campbell’s nation next face Germany Monday 9 September.

Meanwhile, Development Squad striker Admiral Muskwe played 73 minutes during Zimbabwe’s 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Somalia.

Zimbabwe, nicknamed the Warriors, were beaten 1-0 following a late goal, and again face the east African outfit on Sunday.
