Each nation may register 20 players for the final tournament, with 16 players eligible to take the court for each match. However, on Monday, Thomsen opted to select only 17 players.
With just two goalkeepers and two line players in the squad, it appears likely that additional players will be added to these positions before the European Handball Federation (EHF) deadline.
The vast majority of the 17 players in the squad are well-known, experienced names, while those with less experience in final tournaments include Cecilie Brandt, Stine Norklit Lonborg, Laura Borg, and Sofie Bardrum.
Denmark begins the European Championship in Antalya, Turkey, on 3 December, facing Spain in their opening match of the preliminary round. The other two teams in the group are Turkey and Greece.
If Denmark finishes among the top two in the group, the team will advance to the main round, which will be held in Cluj, Romania. Should the team reach the semi-finals, they will travel on to Katowice, Poland. The 17 selected players are:
