Inter Milan and Denmark star player Christian Eriksen have started training alone at the Danish club he represented as a teenager. He continues his recovery from suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 tournament. The 29-year-old midfielder collapsed on the pitch when playing for Denmark in June.
Christian Eriksen Back on his Feet
The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device he subsequently had fitted means that the former Tottenham and Ajax means he is banned from playing in Italy’s Serie A. Denmark’s Odense Boldklub (OB) said Eriksen was using their facilities.
According to him, he said: “Eriksen reached out to us, and he is now training by himself.” The statement also said: “It’s natural for him since he played here in his youth and lives around the corner. We are delighted to be able to provide training facilities for him.” He represented OB from 2005 to 2008 before joining Dutch side Ajax.
After seven years with Tottenham, he joined Inter in 2020. The Italian champions have said they are prepared to let him leave the club after the country’s medical authority suspended him from playing in Serie A.
