Christian Eriksen Hints at Retirement After ICD Shock in Denmark Friendly

Christian Eriksen collapsed in Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine when his implanted ICD device delivered a shock in the 65th minute. Medical staff and players formed a protective shield around him as he briefly lost consciousness. The referee abandoned the match and Eriksen was taken off the pitch. Less than 24 hours later, the former Tottenham and Manchester United midfielder confirmed he is home with his family and already recovering. He stressed that this shock was different from his 2021 cardiac arrest and praised his ICD for saving his life. Eriksen added that he now plans to focus on recovery, spend time with loved ones, go on vacation, and simply play football for fun with his children — hinting at the end of his professional career.
