Christian Eriksen has received his first call-up for Denmark since his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 last summer.

Eriksen, 30, has been absent for his country since collapsing at the major tournament on June 12, but having regained match fitness with new club Brentford he is now set to make an emotional return later this month.

On Tuesday Denmark boss Kasper Hjulmand revealed his 23-man squad for their friendlies against Holland and Serbia at the end of March, and the former Tottenham man was included.
