Christian Eriksen WILL make his debut for Brentford against Newcastle on Saturday

Thomas Frank has confirmed Christian Eriksen will make his eagerly-awaited Brentford debut against Newcastle on Saturday.

It caps a remarkable return for the midfielder, who eight months ago suffered a cardiac arrest, collapsing on the pitch during Denmark's defeat by Finland at Euro 2020.

Brentford boss Frank said Eriksen will be in Saturday's squad and that the 30-year-old 'will get on the pitch' at the Brentford Community Stadium.
