Christian Eriksen has returned to the Premier League after signing a six-month deal with Brentford, just seven months after suffering a cardiac arrest, Newspremises reports.

Eriksen left Inter Milan in December by mutual consent after being suspended by the Italian medical authority from playing in Serie A due to a rule prohibiting the use of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device he has had fitted.

The 29-year-old was implanted with the ICD after he suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2020 match against Finland in Copenhagen. But has completed all the necessary medical checks and is fit to return to football.

In a statement on Monday, Brentford announced that Eriksen signed a contract until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

Manager Thomas Frank said: "I am looking forward to working with Christian again. It has been a while since I last coached him, and a lot has happened since then. Christian was 16 at the time and has become one of the best midfield players to appear in the Premier League. He has also won trophies all over Europe and become the star of the Danish national team.

"We have taken an unbelievable opportunity to bring a World Class player to Brentford. He hasn't trained with a team for seven months but has done a lot of work on his own. He is fit but we will need to get him match fit and I am looking forward to seeing him work with the players and staff to get back towards his highest level."

It is not illegal in the UK for Eriksen to play with an ICD and he will become the first-ever to play with one in the Premier League.

This guy should have just waited for like 2 years to recover fully, while still training lightly in other not to loose form


Playing professionally 7 months after your cardiac arrest is both risky and dangerous, even if medical had cleared him fit to play, he for still chill small.

Life na one oo, take care of your mind, heart and body.

I wish him strength, because English defenders no go reason say u just reviewed from cardiac arrest, when Dem wan make you down

Honestly my dear!! I am so angry right now!!

He is behaving recklessly like an African!!

What sort of stupidity is this?

Why not retire in peace or wait 2 years like you suggested?

So many leagues turned him down because they know the risk now he has forced himself into Brentford by signing a none liability clause meaning he takes full responsibility for whatever happens to him.

He is mentally sick indeed
