Leeds goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has been called up to the Denmark squad for the first time for its 2012 European Championship qualifier against Iceland
Coach Morten Olsen says Schmeichel will be the third-choice goalie behind veteran Thomas Sorensen and Stephan Andersen.
Olsen says the former Manchester City keeper should get ''a taste'' of the national team. He is the son of former Denmark and Manchester United great Peter Schmeichel, who earned 128 caps in a 14-year career - and scored once.
Olsen picked 23 players for the June 4 game in Reykjavik, including Nicklas Bendtner, William Kvist, Dennis Rommedahl and Simon Busk Poulsen. Other key players on Olsen's list were Christian Poulsen, Lasse Schone, Christian Eriksen and Mads Junker.
