Christian Eriksen Return In Major Tournament
The 30-year-old took the field in Doha’s 40,000-seat Education City Stadium as his team began its World Cup campaign against Tunisia.
Aissa Laidouni of Tunisia gave him a strong tackling blow during his initial involvement.
He lost consciousness during Denmark’s Euro 2020 match against Finland at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium, necessitating the implantation of a device to control his heart.
His tenure at Serie A club Inter Milan came to an end as a result, but he continued his Premier League club career with Brentford last season. In March, he earned a return to the Denmark team by scoring three minutes after entering the game as a substitute.
The Manchester United midfielder was a member of a squad that won its first nine games—with clean sheets in the first eight—to easily top its World Cup qualification group.
He joined United in the summer and was crucial to Erik ten Hag’s restoration of the team.
Eriksen was referred to as the “heartbeat of the team” by Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand prior to today’s game.
“He is a great footballer, but he is also a great person. Simply put, working with Christian is a pleasure “says he.
