Hjulmand said fellow midfielder Thomas Delaney also experienced the same problems.

Asked specifically about Eriksen, Hjulmand said the Manchester United midfielder traveled separately to the rest of the squad for an early evening walk around Dortmund’s stadium, where Saturday’s match will be played, but expects him to be ready.

Indeed, he said Eriksen will not continue to be isolated from the squad.

“No, he’s going to be with us,” Hjulmand said. “We have our team doctor with us, but I hear (Eriksen) is going to be with us tonight.”
