Football player who survived cardiac arrest called up to national team for the first time

Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest during a match of the European Championship 2020, received a call-up to the national team, R-Sport reports with reference to the website of the Danish Football Federation.

The Danish team will play friendly matches against the Netherlands and Serbia on 26 and 29 March respectively. Eriksen was called up to the national team for the first time since the incident.

The football player suffered a cardiac arrest right on the field during the game between the national teams of Denmark and Finland on June 12, 2021. For several minutes, doctors provided first aid to the player, including chest compressions.

Later, the Danish footballer underwent an operation to install a cardioverter-defibrillator. Because of this, the Dane, who played for Inter Milan, was banned from playing in Italy.

In December, the Italian club and the player terminated the contract by mutual agreement of the parties. At the end of January, the Danish midfielder signed a contract with the English "Brentford".
