After Months Of Cardiac Arrest, Christian Eriksen Signs For Brentford On 6 Months Deal

Eriksen: I died for five minutes

Eriksen revealed earlier this month he “died for five minutes” before being revived by medics, who gave life-saving treatment on the pitch in Copenhagen.

He also told Danish broadcaster DR he wants to play at this year’s World Cup.

Eriksen said: “My goal is to play in the World Cup in Qatar. I want to play. That’s been my mindset all along. It’s a goal, a dream.

“Whether I’ll be picked is another thing, but it’s my dream to come back.

“Physically, I’m back in top shape. I want to prove I’ve moved on and that I can play on the national team again.

“It’s up to the manager to assess my level but my heart is not an obstacle.”

Last month, Eriksen’s agent Martin Schoots told Sky Sports News the midfielder was “optimistic” about resuming his football career and had been working hard to return to playing.
