Christian Eriksen couldn’t have imagined a better way to celebrate his 30th birthday. The Danish midfielder played for the first time in an official game on Monday (14/2) after eight months and the heart attack he suffered at the last Euro.
The 30-year-old current Brentford player made his unofficial debut for the ‘Bees’ after playing in today’s friendly with Southend United. In fact, Eriksen combined his return to action with an assist.
This is the Denmark international’s first game after suffering a heart attack at Euro 2020 in the match between Denmark and Finland on June 12.
It is recalled that Eriksen signed with the English club until the end of the season after being sacked by Inter and is expected to soon be the first player with an implanted defibrillator to compete First League.
In a recent interview, he expressed his desire to play with Denmark at the World Cup if things go well for him.
