Thomas Frank has confirmed Christian Eriksen will make his Brentford debut in Saturday’s crucial match against Newcastle, completing an emotional return to football for the Denmark international eight months after his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
Last month Eriksen joined the Bees on a contract until the end of the season, having departed Internazionale in December. Brentford have been keen not to rush him back but he has played two friendlies, making two assists in the secondagainst a Rangers XI, and Frank is convinced the 30-year-old is in good shape to return. Eriksen is expected to appear from the bench during the second half.
