Eriksen cannot play for Inter this season, but club open to letting him leave
Eriksen suffered the on-field cardiac arrest during his country’s opening game of the tournament in June against Finland and received life-saving treatment on the pitch.
He later had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator device implanted, a type of pacemaker that can prevent fatal cardiac arrests by discharging a jolt to restore a regular heart rhythm. Francesco Braconaro, a member of the Italian Football Federation’s technical scientific committee, said in August that Eriksen would not be allowed to play in Italy unless the ICD device was removed.Following a serious injury which occurred during the European Championship in June 2021, [Eriksen] has been temporarily inhibited by the Italian medical authority from sporting activity in the current season,” the club wrote in a statement on Thursday.
“Although the current conditions of the player don’t meet the requirements of achieving sporting fitness in Italy, the same could instead be achieved in other countries where the player could resume competitive activity.” It is unclear whether other countries would allow Eriksen to participate in their respective leagues with the ICD device fitted.Reuters
