When the eleven Danes step onto the field tonight in the World Cup qualifier against Moldova, they will feel his lack again. They still have to do without their playmaker Christian Eriksen.
Saturday June 12, the European Championship match Denmark-Finland in Copenhagen. The collapse, the panic, the CPR, the disbelief, the tears, the respect. Eriksen’s cardiac arrest on the pitch will forever have a place in football history.
After hours between hope and fear, word came that Eriksen was conscious and his condition stable. From that moment on, his rehabilitation began. He was given an internal defibrillator to prevent a similar situation in the future.
At the beginning of August, he showed himself on the training field of his club Internazionale. The Italians said the Dane was in “excellent physical and mental health” and was following a program that Danish doctors had prepared for him.
