'It's been incredible to see and feel' - Eriksen thanks world for support after being discharged from hospital

Six days after his collapse in Copenhagen, the Inter playmaker will head home with an ICD heart-starting device after meeting his squad-mates

Christian Eriksen says he is "doing well under the circumstances" after he was discharged from hospital on Friday, following a successful operation less than a week after he suffered cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2020 opener.

The Inter playmaker collapsed during his side's Group B game with Finland in Copenhagen on Saturday and was rushed to the nearby Rigshospitalet, where he was fitted with an ICD heart-starting device earlier this week.

Having visited his team-mates, the midfielder will now return home with his family as he continues to recover, as his country attempt to avoid an early exit from this summer's rearranged tournament.
