Brentford won't be rushing Eriksen into action eight months after a near-death experience at the Euros, but his time is coming soon.
Christian Eriksen is going to need a little bit more time. That he has time at all is perhaps a gift unto itself, so you'll have to forgive his new club for not rushing a storybook comeback.
Brentford faces Manchester City on Wednesday in its first Premier League match since Eriksen signed with the Bees as a free agent on transfer deadline day, though the Danish star won't be active just yet. After he spent time training at former clubs of his following his mutual parting of ways with Inter Milan, the ink drying on his contract officially marked the next step in his sensational return following his near-death experience at Euro 2020.
