Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen returned to play a professional football match today after the cardiac arrest he suffered at Euro 2021. The former Inter player of Italy entered the complement of the match, corresponding to the 27th date of the Premier League, between his team, Brentford, and Newcastle, which took the victory by 2 to 0.The midfielder, who has implanted a defibrillator, entered six minutes into the second half by his compatriot Mathias Jense. As soon as he stepped on the field, all the fans stood to applaud the Dane who wore the number 21.
It is worth mentioning that Eriksen collapsed due to a heart attack during the match between his team, Denmark, and Finland for the Euro 2021. After the heart attack, the footballer was implanted with a defibrillator, a device contraindicated for the practice of professional football in Italy, a fact that caused him to terminate his contract with Inter a few months ago. The Dane made his professional debut at Ajax in the Netherlands, where he played between 2009 and 2014. After his time in the Amsterdam cast, the midfielder arrived at Tottenham Hotspur, an English institution that had him among its ranks for six years. In addition, he played one season at Inter, where he was Serie A champion in 2021.
