Earlier this year, Christian Eriksen said he still hopes to play in the World Cup in Qatar in November. With the news he received Tuesday, the midfielder seems that much closer to achieving his goal.
Nine months after his collapse at last summer’s Euros, Eriksen has been named in the Denmark national team for its upcoming friendlies against the Netherlands and Serbia at the end of this month.
Eriksen has not appeared for Denmark since his cardiac arrest June 12 against Finland. But the midfielder signed for Premier League side Brentford in January after his mutual release from Inter Milan.
