The defender has recently returned from Brentford B’s tour in Spain where they played two fixtures against Albacete Under-19s and FC Cartagena.

The Dane featured in both games and will now link up with his international teammates along with fellow Bees, Mads Bech Sorensen and Mads Roerslev.

Denmark will travel to the Lviv Arena to take on Ukraine on Friday 15 November in a 4.30pm kick-off before they then take on Malta the following Tuesday at the Aalborg stadium as they return home.

The Danes have had an excellent start in Group H having picked up nine points from a possible nine to begin the campaign.

Japhet will be keen to push himself into contention after impressing with Brentford B and scoring in the narrow 3-2 loss to FC Cartagena.
