Eriksen suffering with 'chronic' stomach problem which concerns Spurs & Denmark

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen may have a "chronic" stomach injury, according to Denmark coach Age Hareide.

Eriksen has not featured in Spurs' last four games in all competitions, but has been called up by Hareide for Saturday's Nations League game against Republic of Ireland and a friendly with Austria three days later.

The midfielder is unlikely to feature against Ireland, but will be given the chance to prove his fitness for the meeting with Austria – despite Hareide acknowledging he does not know how long Eriksen could be sidelined for.

"Such an injury can be chronic, and it is true that Tottenham also fear that," Hareide told Canal 9.
