Football: Denmark's Christian Eriksen returns to training two months after on-field cardiac arrest

Christian Eriksen has returned to the Inter Milan training ground for the first time since suffering a cardiac arrest while playing for Denmark at Euro 2020.

The midfielder collapsed during his country's opening game of the tournament against Finland on June 12 in Copenhagen and received life-saving treatment on the pitch.

He has now returned to Italy and visited his club teammates at the Italian champions' Suning Training Centre.

"The Danish midfielder met the club directors, the coach, teammates and all of the staff present. Eriksen is doing well and is in excellent physical and mental shape," a note on the club website said.

"He will now follow the recovery programme put forward by Danish doctors in Copenhagen, who will also co-ordinate the clinical follow-up.

"The Inter medical staff will naturally be kept informed and up to date throughout the process."
