Christian Eriksen is set to continue his rehabilitation in Denmark after collapsing last month, his current club, Wolfsburg have confirmed
The 34-year-old was playing for his country against Ukraine in an international friendly when he collapsed to the floor clutching his chest in frightening scenes.
After suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2021, Eriksen had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) installed, which, upon detecting dangerous heart rhythms, provides a shock to restore beats to a normal rhythm.
The life-saving device kicked into action following his collapse in the friendly against Ukraine last month. Despite concerns over his health, he does not look set to retire, judging by a statement from his current employers on his omission from their pre-season camp.
Their official update read: “Christian Eriksen will soon begin an individual rehabilitation programme. After a conversation with VfL managing director Dieter Hecking, it was decided that the 34-year-old will complete this in his home country of Denmark.
“VfL is in regular contact with Christian as well as the treating physicians. For the course of his rehabilitation, we continue to wish Christian all the best.”
