Former Tottenham man Christian Eriksen had his first terrifying incident in Euro 2020 against Finland
This is not the first time former Tottenham star Christian Eriksen has suffered a terrifying incident on the football pitch. The Dane suffered a scary cardiac arrest on the pitch back in 2021, during Denmark’s first Euro 2020 game against Finland. The team doctor even said that the former Spurs star was “gone” for a few minutes. He was revived after cardiac resuscitation.
Eriksen, however, recovered strongly, went on to play for multiple EPL clubs, including Brentford and Manchester United. He is currently playing for Vfl Wolfsburg.
Hope the former Tottenham icon recovers soon!
