No, for football lovers, February 14 is not necessarily synonymous with Valentine’s Day. A stroke of luck for some or some, no Champions League on the program this year. But the great story of the day is on the England side, where Christian Eriksen returned to the pitch on Monday, the day of his 30th birthday. And especially eight months after his heart attack at Euro 2020. The attacking midfielder, who joined Brentford this winter, played an hour during the Bees’ victory against Southend United (3-2), in a friendly.
The Danish international (109 caps, 36 goals) has already distinguished himself since he delivered an assist for Josh Da Silva (triple). Christian Eriksen, who wears a pacemaker, could now make his debut at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday (4 p.m., 26th day of the Premier League), against Arsenal. And above all his big comeback, to the delight of all football lovers.
🎉 Happy birthday @ChrisEriksen8What a present as well with an hour and an assist on his return to action this afternoon 🙌🙌#BrentfordFC pic.twitter.com/HJXj1Zfah7
