Christian Eriksen made a brief visit to his teammates at German club Wolfsburg on Friday, watching them play a test match. The Danish footballer is currently undergoing rehabilitation in Denmark following his collapse during a national team game on June 7. Wolfsburg, who will play in the second division next season, confirmed Eriksen's visit on their website. "It's wonderful to be back with the team, even for a short while, to see familiar faces and get to know the new ones," Eriksen told the club's website. He added that the visit was beneficial for him and wished the team a successful start to the season. Eriksen's contract with Wolfsburg extends until the summer of 2027. The decision for him to rehabilitate in Denmark was made after discussions with Wolfsburg's CEO, Dieter Hecking. This follows an earlier period where Eriksen had requested more time to consider his future with the club. The incident during the match against Ukraine, where Eriksen collapsed and received immediate medical attention before being transported to Odense University Hospital, has had a profound impact. He was discharged the following day and shared an update on Instagram, noting that while the pacemaker's reaction had deeply affected him and his family, the situation was different from his 2021 cardiac arrest during the Euro match against Finland, which required on-field resuscitation and the subsequent implantation of a pacemaker.
It's wonderful to be back with the team, even for a short while, to see familiar faces and get to know the new ones.
