Christian Eriksen has said he knew he would play football again just two days after suffering a cardiac arrest.

Eriksen collapsed on the pitch at the Parken Stadium in June during Denmark’s European Championship group game against Finland. En route to the hospital in Copenhagen, he told his wife Sabrina that he would probably never play football again.
