Christian Eriksen collapsed 259 days ago, just a few minutes, practically, during a match between Denmark and Finland in the European Championship, but that did not stop the brave Dane from returning to professional football. Representing the "Brentford" team against "Newcastle" today, Christian Eriksen played official matches after 259 days. In his comeback match, the Dane came off the bench in the 52nd minute. In the minutes given, the "Brentford" newcomer touched the ball 36 times and made 13 passes, including one key pass. However, C. Eriksen's team lost 0-2 at home to the "Newcastle" team. "Brentford" has 11 matches left to play in the Premier League season. So the Dane still has chances to get back on the field and improve his physical condition before representing the Danish national team in the World Cup in Qatar - that was his goal when returning to football.
