Christian Eriksen handed emotional Denmark return nine months after heart attack

Christian Eriksen has been recalled to the Denmark squad for the first time since suffering a heart attack at Euro 2020.

Denmark face Netherlands and Serbia in international friendlies later this month. And boss Kasper Hjulmand has named Eriksen in his 23-man squad following the ex-Tottenham star’s impressive return to action with Brentford in the Premier League.

Eriksen, 30, who suffered a cardiac arrest during the Euro 2020 match against Finland at Copenhagen’s Parken stadium, has not played for his country since the incident, which saw him undergo life-saving surgery treatment on the pitch. He later declared he had “died for five minutes” during the incident last June.
