Eriksen must have defibrillator removed for Inter return, says Italian technical scientific committee

The Danish midfielder suffered cardiac arrest while on international duty at Euro 2020 and may not be cleared for competitive action

Christian Eriksen would need to have his defibrillator removed in order to return to action at Inter, says Italy's technical scientific committee.

The Danish playmaker suffered cardiac arrest while on international duty at Euro 2020 on June 12, with only the quick thinking of team-mates and medical professionals saving his life.

The 29-year-old has since been fitted with an ICD to regulate further disturbances in his heartbeat, but Serie A officials say Eriksen would need to prove that he is completely clear of any health concerns in order to resume his professional career at San Siro.
