Uefa have adjusted the punishment handed down to Denmark following the abandoned Euro 2008 qualifier against Sweden.

The game was called off with the score at 3-3 in Copenhagen on June 2nd when a fan ran on the pitch and tried to attack referee Herbert Fandel.

Uefa subsequently awarded the tie 3-0 to Sweden and said Denmark must play their next four home games at least 155 miles away from Copenhagen.

But Uefa have now said they will consider suitable grounds nearer the capital.
