Lindegaard given OK by Danes - Danish shot-stopper proves to Olsen that he's fit
Anders Lindegaard: The Manchester United keeper is now injury-free according to Denmark boss

Head coach Morten Olsen has added Manchester United keeper Anders Lindegaard to Denmark's Euro 2012 squad.

The 27-year-old has struggled to recover from an ankle injury he suffered in training at the end of January and was seen as a doubt for this summer's tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

However, Lindegaard was confident he would be fine and it has taken just a couple of days' training for Olsen to reach the same conclusion.

"We have never been in doubt about Anders' qualities," said Olsen.

"It has purely been a matter of testing how he was after his long injury break.

"After three training sessions we are in no doubt that we've got an injury-free third keeper in our squad."
