European Football Championship
After cardiac arrest: Eriksen back in the Denmark squad
Christian Eriksen is back on the European Championship stage! The Manchester United midfield star is in the 26-man squad for the tournament in Germany, which Denmark's soccer team boss Kasper Hjulmand announced on Thursday. Eriksen collapsed with a cardiac arrest in the opening game against Finland (0:1) during his last European Championship appearance in 2021. Since then, the 32-year-old has been playing with an implanted defibrillator.
Denmark's European Championship squad also includes two former Austria internationals: ex-Salzburg player Rasmus Kristensen, most recently on loan from Leeds United to AS Roma, and former Sturm Graz attacker Rasmus Höjlund.
Höjlund is seen as a beacon of hope
Höjlund in particular is seen as a beacon of hope in attack. The 21-year-old scored 16 goals for Manchester United last season, his first in England.
Denmark will face Slovenia, England and Serbia in European Championship Group C. At the last continental tournament in 2021, the 1992 European champions only reached the semi-finals against England.
