Christian Eriksen has opened up about his near-death experience after his bravery was recognised at the World Sports awards.
The Denmark international won ‘The Comeback of the Year’ prize after his miraculous recovery from a cardiac arrest at the Euros. The Danish side protected their colleague by shielding him from the cameras after he was taken off the field on a stretcher after collapsing midway through their game with Finland in 2021.
He eventually came through the ordeal, having been fitted with a device to control his irregular heartbeat. The central midfielder later returned to the Premier League, first with Brentford and latterly with Manchester United and Denmark.
