Overview
- Wolfsburg announced on July 9 that Christian Eriksen will start an individual rehabilitation program in Denmark and that the club remains in regular contact with him and his doctors.
- Eriksen collapsed during Denmark’s friendly with Ukraine on June 7 after clutching his chest, received a shock from his implanted cardioverter defibrillator and walked off the field before being taken to hospital for tests.
- Eriksen told the public he was at home with his family and that the ICD shock had a major effect but was a different medical event from the cardiac arrest he suffered at Euro 2020 in 2021.
- The 34-year-old signed a two-year deal with VfL Wolfsburg last September, captained the side in their relegation playoff defeat to Paderborn, and remains under contract for the coming season.
- Next steps to watch include his progress through the Denmark-based rehab plan, ongoing medical assessments by club and national doctors, and any formal decisions about his return to elite play.
