Eriksen scores on his international comeback

Christian Eriksen managed to score a stunner two minutes into his Denmark return.

The 30-year-old footballer was playing for his country for the first time after his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 last year in June.

Eriksen came on as a second-half substitute and was given a standing ovation from fans and players on both sides.

The former Tottenham Hotspur man said that he enjoyed the “perfect” return to his national team, having found the back of the net in their 4-2 friendly defeat to the Netherlands.

“I was happy the ball came to me,” said Eriksen.

“I thought it was a lovely finish, and to start my international comeback like this is a perfect way.

“If you take away the result, I’m one happy man. To go through what I’ve been through, being back is a wonderful feeling.”

The midfielder will hope to be part of the squad that will be going to the 2022 Fifa World Cup due to take place in Qatar.

“I am looking forward to playing in Qatar, but there are many games in between,” he added.
