Christian Eriksen: Denmark international on returning to Premier League with Brentford

Christian Eriksen says it feels like a miracle to be able to resume his career with Brentford after collapsing while playing for Denmark at Euro 2020 last summer.

The 29-year-old has been fitted with an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), a type of pacemaker, after suffering cardiac arrest.

He has joined the Bees on a six-month deal after his release by Inter Milan.

"The first thing is to show the gratitude," Eriksen told BBC Sport.

"To the people around me, the team-mates, the doctors first on the pitch, the team doctors and paramedics and then at the hospital, to do everything and check everything.
