Christian Eriksen set to captain Denmark at site of his Euro 2020 cardiac arrest horror

Christian Eriksen is set to captain Denmark at the Parken Stadium as he makes an emotional return to the arena where he suffered a horrifying cardiac arrest during Euro 2020.

The 30-year-old will wear the armband for his nation's friendly with Serbia in Copenhagen on Tuesday night. It will be the first time Eriksen has played at the Parken Stadium since June 12 when he collapsed against Finland and "died for five minutes".

The midfielder has made a remarkable recovery since the incident and recently resumed club football back in the Premier League with Brentford. Eriksen enjoyed a magical moment at the weekend as he netted with his first touch on his Denmark return in a 4-2 defeat to the Netherlands, but admitted Tuesday will be even more special.
