Christian Eriksen's back, for Brentford and Denmark, and maybe better than ever after cardiac arrest

Five days before Christian Eriksen arrived at Brentford, Thomas Frank predicted he could be the club's "greatest signing." Frank hadn't yet seen him train, but the Brentford manager -- who coached Eriksen when he was with Denmark's Under-17s -- certainly knew he could transform the Bees' season. Since Eriksen made his debut for Brentford on Feb. 26 as a second-half substitute, he has done just that.

Before Eriksen joined, the club was just three points above the relegation zone. Since then, the Bees have won three of the four matches he has featured in, with him missing their defeat at Leicester due to testing positive for COVID-19.
