Wales could yet face Denmark's strongest team in the Nations League on Sunday.
Ryan Giggs' side have been facing the prospect of coming up against team including futsal players.
A Danish Football Association spokesman told BSports Wales it is prepared for talks with senior players that could end their commercial rights dispute.
Wales' Nations League campaign begins against Republic of Ireland in Cardiff on Thursday.
Ireland boss Martin O'Neill has said Uefa should intervene.
He fears Wales facing a weakened Danish team, then finding the dispute resolved so his side face their strongest line-up.
On Wednesday Denmark fielded a student, a salesman and internet star as in a 3-0 friendly defeat by Slovakia.
Senior Denmark players have refused to sign a new national team agreement with the Danish FA (DBU) in a dispute over commercial rights.
The 24-man squad is also without Danish Superliga or First Division players.
The DBU earlier confirmed third tier, fourth tier and futsal players would make up the squad for the friendly with Slovakia and then against Wales.
Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet reported that Denmark's team will consist of several futsal players.
There are a total of eight players from Avarta, Skovshoved IF, IF Skjold Birkerod, Hellerup IK, Hillerod Fodbold - Danish Second Division clubs - who have made themselves available.
One of those, Avarta striker Christian Offenberg, 30, is the league's top scorer with five goals in six matches so far this season.
Players from fourth-tier clubs Jaegersborg Boldklub, Vanlose IF and Kastrup Boldklub have also been named in the squad.
A total of five players from the 24 called up were in Denmark's national futsal squad for their last match against Greenland in May.
Denmark manager Age Hareide and assistant Jon Dahl Tomasson are not in charge of the current team, with Euro 92 winner John Jensen in temporary charge.
The DBU has decided that Hareide should not be involved as the team will consist of players he has not selected.
On Sunday, the DBU rejected an offer by the Danish Football Players' Association (Spillerforeningen) to play the two fixtures under the terms of their previous deal.
Tottenham and Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen is a member of the Spillerforeningen and on Tuesday the players' body again offered to fulfil the fixtures under the old terms.
Denmark risk being barred by European governing body Uefa if they fail to fulfil either of the fixtures.
The Denmark women's team boycotted a World Cup qualifier against Sweden in October 2017 in a dispute over employment conditions.
Uefa ruled out ejecting the team from qualification, instead awarding Sweden a 3-0 win and fining the DBU £18,000.
But the DBU was warned that Denmark would be ruled out of any Uefa tournament if it cancelled another match in the next four years.
