Eriksen hit by coin

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen made an incredible return for his Denmark national team as he scored his first touch of the ball in international football since suffering cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.

Eriksen had to put his entire career on hold after the harrowing scenes during his country’s game against Finland last summer as he was forced to leave Inter Milan as Italian football doesn’t allow players to use the cardioverter defibrillators ( ICD) implanted to use. However, he has now returned to professional football after signing for Premier League side Brentford in the closing hours of the January transfer window.

His fairytale return continued on Saturday night as he swept a low cross into the top corner from the right to score with his first touch on his return to international football, although Denmark ended up losing 4-2 to the Netherlands. And there were ignominious scenes after the game when the former Spurs ace was hit by a coin while conducting a post-game interview.

Spurs are currently in fifth place, breathing down Arsenal in the race for Champions League qualification.

But Collymore says Spurs will face stiff competition for fourth place from another side.
