Christian Eriksen trains with Dutch team Ajax to step up his recovery from cardiac arrest.
Former Inter Milan player Christian Eriksen has further stepped up his recovery from his cardiac arrest by training with former club Ajax.
Eriksen, who has been linked with a return to the Premier League with Brentford, revealed earlier this month that he “died for five minutes” when he collapsed during the Euro 2020 group match against Finland in June.
The former ex Tottenham player received life-saving treatment on the pitch before being taken to hospital and was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device.
He left Inter Milan by mutual consent before Christmas after rules in Italy prevented him from playing with an ICD and has been training with third-tier Swiss club FC Chiasso as he looks to build up his fitness.
The Dane, who has targeted a place in his country’s squad for this year’s World Cup, has now returned to Ajax where he is training with the reserve team.
He said on the club website: “I am very happy to be here. At Ajax I know the people, it feels like coming home because I was here for so long.
“All facilities are available here and with Jong Ajax I can train at a high level in a group. That’s the perfect foundation for me at the moment.
“I want to be at my best again as soon as possible so that when I find a new club, I can perform well there as quickly as possible.”
