The past year has been an absolute rollercoaster for former Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen. Euro 2020 saw the midfielder collapse in the middle of Denmark’s game with Finland, but he has since made one of the greatest comebacks to the sport after doubts over whether his playing career could continue.
The 30-year-old had to have an ICD implanted, which is a small device that can prevent fatal cardiac arrests with a jolt to restore the heart back to its normal rhythm. Because of that and Serie A regulations, he was not clear to play the rest of this season with his club Inter Milan.
In his desire to continue playing, his contract with the Nerazzurri was mutually terminated and he was free to train and join another club. Eriksen did so, joining Premier League side Brentford, where he has shone on his return to England.
