Denmark’s Eriksen leaves Inter Milan “by mutual consent”

The 29-year-old has been fitted with a pacemaker, preventing him from playing in Italian soccer, but leaving the door open in other championships.

“Inter and Christian Eriksen have decided to terminate the current contract by mutual agreement, as they are not officially allowed to play in Serie A with a defibrillator,” the Italian club said.

Eriksen will now be able to consider his options with other potential clubs, and has recently been training with his childhood club, Odense.

The former Tottenham player suffered cardiac arrest in Denmark’s Euro 2020 opening match against Finland in Copenhagen on June 12 and had to be resurrected on the pitch.

Televised live to a stunned nation, Denmark then rode a wave of excitement into the tournament, reaching the semi-finals.

The Inter Milan midfielder spent several days in hospital and had a pacemaker implanted to regulate his heartbeat, which would rule out even going to a gym in Italy.
