Eriksen has not set foot on a the field nor has he received any training, It was about five months ago that Eriksen's life was threatened as Eriksen played for the Denmark national team at Euro 2020 and was playing against Finland. Eriksen, a key player for the Danish national team was on the pitch, but just before the end of the first half and he suddenly collapsed. The cause is an acute heart attack, he was helped by his Colleagues and the referee, they were surprised and urgently called the medical staff, but the situation was so serious that Eriksen lost consciousness.

Fortunately, Eriksen regained consciousness thanks to quick action and was transported to a nearby hospital. Although it was not life threatening, Eriksen decided to wear an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) after consulting with a specialist. An ICD is a device that stabilizes the heart in case of abnormal beating. But returning as a player was a problem. Eriksen is currently a player for Inter Milan in Serie A in Italy, where players with permanent ICDs cannot play in matches.

Soccer is a sport where physical contact cannot be avoided, and this is to prevent accidents in which the ICD is damaged or the heart suffers again due to an unexpected situation such as a collision during a match. In the end, Inter Milan issued an official statement, stating that they would support Eriksen as much as possible in promoting his transfer to another country. There were also rumors of a return to Ajax, where Eriksen played in the past.
