Brentford defender Henrik Dalsgaard says promotion to the Premier League would make up for the “hurt” of being left out of Denmark’s European Championship squad. Right-back Dalsgaard will face Swansea in the Sky Bet Championship play-off final on Saturday, just days after suffering the disappointment of being overlooked at international level. “It’s a bit like the World Cup, you want to play those games, that’s where the fun is. Dalsgaard, who turns 32 in July, admits the successes of his former team-mates provide encouragement about potentially stepping up a division. “Players performing in Brentford can definitely do well in the Premier League as well, so definitely.”
