Christian Eriksen discharged from hospital, visits Denmark team

Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen has been discharged from the hospital after a successful operation to fit a heart-starting device.

During Denmark's defeat to Finland in Copenhagen on Saturday, the 29-year-old midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest.

He paid a visit to the team on Friday and will now travel home with his family.

"Thank you for the massive number of greetings," Eriksen said in a statement.

"It has been incredible to see and feel.

"The operation went well, and I am doing well under the circumstances.

"It was really great to see the guys again after the fantastic game they played last night. No need to say, that I will be cheering on them on Monday against Russia."
