England midfielder Mason Mount has warned Denmark will walk in the 'lion's den' at Wembley on Wednesday.

The Three Lions have reached the semi-final stage, and Mount thinks home support will help them qualify for the final.

"It is unbelievable to play at Wembley and all our group games and the Germany game were special, special games to be involved in," Chelsea star Mount said.

"I was on the bench and now it is a semi-final at Wembley and hopefully we can get to the final. That has always been our goal from the start and has been our focus.

"It will be a special day and there will be a few more fans there as well to create the atmosphere.

"You are in the lion's den and you have to come and perform. We are obviously going to try and give our best."

Having faced the Danes in October last year, Mount added: "We played them not long ago.

"We know what they're about so every game is going to be tough.

"You're in a semi-final so you have to bring everything. Just like they will.

"They'll be passionate, we have to be ready for the battle. That's what we have to do now.

"We have to recover now, it was a hot game tonight, and we controlled it for bits of the game but it still takes a toll and we have to recover and be ready for the next game."
