What happened to Christian Eriksen? Why is he banned from playing for Inter Milan?

Christian Eriksen collapsed during first half of Group B match in Euro 2020 against Finland and was rushed to hospital after being resuscitated on field at Parken Stium. At hospital, he has an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device, a of pacemaker, fitted. While player's agent revealed that Eriksen is fit to play, Inter Milan have said that Danish star cannot play for club because Italian Football Federation does not allow players with ICD's to play, but y also said in statement that player would be allowed to leave for anor club.

" player has been temporarily inhibited by Italian medical authority from sporting activity in current season," Inter Milan wrote in a statement on Thursday. "Although current conditions of player don't meet requirements of achieving sporting fitness in Italy, same could inste be achieved in or countries where player could resume competitive activity."

Christian Eriksen's future in football

It is still unclear wher Eriksen will be allowed to play in any or country with ICD device that was fitted after Euro 2020 incident. Former Manchester United and current Ajax defender Daley Blind was also fitted with an ICD after he was diagnosed with heart muscle inflammation but 31-year-old has not stopped playing as he is currently playing for Eredivisie champions and Nerlands national team.

So re is some speculation that he could join his former club Ajax where he spent three seasons and me 163 appearances, scored 32 goals and assisted 65. After Ajax, he transferred to Tottenham Hotspur where he went on to make 305 appearances and also managed to score 69 goals and set up 90 more. He moved to Inter a few seasons back and helped m win Serie A title while scoring eight and assisting three. It will be interesting to see where player moves as most leagues might not want to take risk of fielding a player at such a high heath risk but if he is fit he is still a world-class player with heaps of talent and no team would want to miss out on that.
