Christian Eriksen’s return to Premier League football with Brentford will take a “few weeks”, according to Thomas Frank. The manager said his Danish compatriot, while physically capable, may need that time to gain match fitness and mental readiness.
Eriksen is coming back from the cardiac arrest suffered while playing at last year’s Euro 2020 tournament. Frank hopes to revive the career of a player he worked with at youth level and believes Eriksen can be “potentially the greatest signing” in Brentford’s history.
