CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN JOINS BRENTFORD ON A FREE TRANSFER JUST SEVEN MONTHS AFTER SUFFERING A CARDIAC ARREST

Christian Eriksen is set to sign for BRENTFORD on a six-month deal to make a remarkable return to the Premier League, just seven months after suffering a cardiac arrest.

ERIKSEN left Inter Milan last month by mutual consent after being suspended by the Italian medical authority from playing in Serie A due to a rule prohibiting the use of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device he has had fitted.

The 29-year-old was implanted with the ICD after he suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s Euro 2020 match against Finland in Copenhagen.
Meanwhile, ERIKSEN who said his heart is “not an obstacle” to get back playing, has completed all the necessary medical checks and is fit to return to football.
