Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen is refusing to give up hope that he will be a part of Denmark's plans in next year's World Cup finals.

Although the 34-year-old is yet to make his international debut for the Danes, Jensen believes that with his consistent Premier League performances for Burnley, the door is still open for him to force his way into manager Morten Olsen's plans.

"When Denmark played Portugal I was on standby over there for the other two goalkeepers in case anything happened because Thomas Sorensen was suspended," he told Sky Sports.

"At least now they have told me that the door is open- but the only thing I am thinking about is doing my best for Burnley. Hopefully that will be good enough, but it's not for me to say.

"At the moment I'm probably fifth choice from [Morten Olsen's] point of view, but hopefully I can fight my way into the squad.

"It will be my last chance, but hopefully I can do enough at the end of the season. Only time will tell."

Jensen's Burnley side face Aston Villa in the Premier League this Saturday at Turf Moor.
