The Danish Football Association have this morning provided a further update on the condition of Christian Eriksen.
It has been confirmed that the Danish national team doctor has been in touch with the cardiac specialist at the hospital in Copenhagen where the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is currently staying at and it has been decided that he should have an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) fitted.
An ICD is a battery-powered device placed under the skin that keeps track of a person’s heart rate. Thin wires connect the ICD to the heart. If an abnormal heart rhythm is detected the device will deliver an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat if the heart is beating chaotically and much too fast.
After having the recommendation confirmed by specialists in both Denmark and overseas, Eriksen has agreed to have the device fitted with the Danish FA urging people to give the Inter Milan player and his family peace and privacy.
