Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 on the pitch as Denmark played Finland.

He received life-saving treatment on the pitch at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium before being taken to a nearby hospital, where he was fitted with an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator).

The ICD is connected to the heart by wires and sends an electrical pulse in order to correct irregular rhythms.

Eriksen is still on the books at Inter Milan but according to Italian publication Gazzetta della Sport, the contract could be terminated soon as a result of the cardiac arrest.

Rules in Italy state that people with a defibrillator like Eriksen has are not allowed to play contact sport. But the 29-year-old could theoretically continue his career in another country, with different rules.

Gazzetta della Sport are reporting that ‘Inter supports and respects Eriksen’ and that allowing to leave the club to play elsewhere is best for all parties.

Earlier this month, Danish publication BT detailed that Eriksen was using the facilities at his old club Odense at their Adalen training facility.

He did not train with the first-team squad but was able to use the facilities to work out with his personal trainer.
