Thomas Frank backs Christian Eriksen for return to the Denmark squad nine months on from his cardiac arrest during Euro 2020 after the midfielder returned to action for Brentford

Brentford manager Thomas Frank believes Christian Eriksen is ready for an emotional return to the Denmark team nine months after his cardiac arrest at the Euros.

The midfielder, 30, hasn't played for his country since he collapsed on the pitch at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen during their Euro 2020 opener against Finland last June.

But Eriksen has since returned to club football with the Bees, making his full debut in last weekend's win at Norwich, and he is likely to start at home to Burnley on Saturday afternoon.
