Wolfsburg have confirmed that Christian Eriksen will continue his rehabilitation in Denmark following his collapse during an international friendly last month.
The 34-year-old midfielder was representing Denmark against Ukraine when he suddenly fell to the ground clutching his chest, prompting immediate concern from teammates, medical staff and supporters.
Eriksen previously suffered a cardiac arrest during Euro 2021 and later had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) fitted.
The device is designed to detect dangerous heart rhythms and deliver an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat.
According to reports, the ICD activated during the incident against Ukraine, helping to stabilise the former Tottenham and Manchester United star.
Despite renewed fears over his health, there is currently no indication that Eriksen is preparing to retire from football. Wolfsburg’s latest statement, issued as the club explained his absence from its pre-season training camp, suggests the midfielder remains focused on his recovery.
“Christian Eriksen will soon begin an individual rehabilitation programme. After a conversation with VfL managing director Dieter Hecking, it was decided that the 34-year-old will complete this in his home country of Denmark.
“VfL is in regular contact with Christian as well as the treating physicians. For the course of his rehabilitation, we continue to wish Christian all the best.”
Wolfsburg did not provide a timeline for Eriksen’s return, with the midfielder expected to continue his recovery under medical supervision in Denmark.
