Christian Eriksen Brentford debut Denmark star plays eight m

Danish international Christian Eriksen made a dramatic return to football on Saturday, le s than nine months after suffering a cardiac arrest episode on the pitch at Euro 2021.
The upsetting scenes of Eriksen collapsing in Denmarks group stage game against Finland in June went down as the enduring image of the competition.
As the Danish players formed a protective ring around their star man, medics revived the former Tottenham midfielder, before he was stretchered off to begin his long road to recovery.
Eriksens return to profe sional football has been a difficult road for the 30-year-old, as Inter Milan terminated his contract since rules in Italy blocked him from playing due to an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
Following his release from the Italian champs, Brentford reached out with a short-term contract offer at the Justin Upton Jersey start of 2022, as Eriksen looks to start all over again.

Eriksen came through two behind-closed-doors friendly games in the lead-up to the Newcastle match which capped a full month of training to build his match fitne s.
Frank stated his positivity about the impact of Eriksen on his squad with the Bees looking to edge away from the relegation zone in the coming weeks.
Why Eriksen left Inter and signed for BrentfordEriksens Inter contract was effectively nullified by the Serie A due to his surgically-implanted defibrillator device (ICD) with the club officially confirming the decision in December 2021.
However, the banning of ICD devices is not common practice in other major European leagues, Jonathan Lucroy Jersey and Eriksen was subsequently permitted to join another club outside of Italy as a free agent.
During the gap in between the Serie A ruling and Inters decision on his contract, between October and December, Eriksen returned to his native Denmark and began training with former club OB.
Eriksens plan was to maintain his fitne s, ahead of a return to profe sional football, before agreeing a move to Brentford in late January.
After two weeks of training, Eriksen played in two club friendly games against Southend and a Rangers XI this month, with two a sists in a 2-2 draw in the latter match.
Those eye-catching performances have convinced Frank he is now ready for a Premier League comeback.
Eriksen's return to Premier LeagueEriksen starred with Tottenham Hotspur before making the move to Inter Milan in Italy. He joined Inter in January 2020 after indicating his intention not to sign a contract extension to his expiring deal with Tottenham.
His time in North London established him as one of the best creative midfielders in Europe after Spurs beat off strong competition to sign him from Ajax in 2013.
Despite not winning a major trophy with Spurs -- they lost in the 2015 EFL Cup and 2019 Champions League finals -- Eriksens individual record was superb.
A total of 51 Premier League Justin Bour Jersey goals (69 acro s all competitions) in six-and-a-half seasons, placed Eriksen joint-seventh on Spurs' all-time Premier League goal scorer list.
