Christian Eriksen returns to his old side Odense to use their training ground

Christian Eriksen is using the training ground of his former side Odense as he continues to build up his fitness in a bid to return to professional football.  

Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 on the pitch as Denmark played Finland.

He received life-saving treatment on the pitch at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium and has been monitored closely in the past five months as he works on his rehab back home in Denmark.

As of Wednesday, Danish publication BT detailed that Eriksen was using the facilities at Odense’s Adalen training facility.

He did not train with the first team squad but was able to use the facilities to work out with his personal trainer.  

‘We are really happy that Christian Eriksen is keeping in shape right now on our courts,’ Odense’s sports director, Michael Hemmingsen, told BT.

‘We have kept in touch with Christian since he left Odense, and therefore we are happy that he asked us if he could retrain in Adalen.’
