There will be a huge cheer from the away end at Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday evening when Christian Eriksen's name is read out before kick-off. Departing Tottenham in January 2020, the Dane will come up against his former club for the first time this weekend when the Lilywhites travel across the capital to take on Brentford.
Suffering a cardiac arrest while playing for his country at Euro 2020, many believed the 30-year-old would never take to the pitch again and have to call time on his career. However, Eriksen made an extraordinary return to the game with Brentford in January and is now wowing in the Premier League once again.
Playing in behind-closed-doors games to boost his fitness immediately after his move, the former Tottenham man made his top-flight return at the end of February as he played the final 38 minutes of their 2-0 defeat against Newcastle United. Eriksen has been a permanent fixture in the team since then having played the full 90 minutes in five of their last six matches, with his absence from the squad against Leicester City the only time he has been unavailable.
