Christian Eriksen makes return to Denmark squad

Midfielder back in red and white for first time since his collapse in Euro 2020 last summer

Mar 15, 2022

With Denmark facing the Netherlands and Serbia in upcoming friendlies, coach Morten Hjulmand unveiled his squad just moments ago.

The big question was whether Christian Eriksen would be in the national team for the first time since he collapsed with cardiac arrest in Euro 2020 last summer.

Hjulmand confirmed that the Brentford midfielder was indeed back in the squad.

“He is 100 percent ready and is where he needs to be,” said Hjulmand.

Eriksen has stated that his goal is to play for Denmark in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Special night in Parken
Denmark will take on the Netherlands away on March 26 and then home in Parken against the Serbs on March 29.

Fans can expect a special atmosphere in the second game with Eriksen making his first return to the pitch where his life almost ended on June 12 last year.

Eriksen has 109 caps for Denmark, scoring 36 goals.
