Eriksen tells Inter teammates he will play again within five months

Around a month has already passed since Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest in Denmark's opening match of Euro 2020 against Finland. He has returned to Inter, where he visited training in person to chat to his teammates. According to 'Corriere dello Sport', he told them that he will play football again in around five months.
"The medical examinations have gone well. In four or five months, I will play again", were the words he told the squad, according to the aforementioned source. That poses a somewhat risky omen, however, as footballers in Italy are not allowed to play with a defibrilator - which is what Eriksen would have to wear.
In order to return to the field again, he would therefore have to change teams and travel abroad, even if it's perhaps too soon to make predictions in this regard. The most important thing is that he is concentrated on his recovery and is first subjected to new tests that will provide a true medical perspective on whether his return is viable.
A well-known exampe of a player with a similar heart problem that ended in his retirement is Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas. On 1st May 2019, whilst training with Porto, he suffered a heart attack which he overcame, but cut short his wish to continue playing for the 'Dragões'. Eriksen is fighting so that the same situation doesn't happen to him.
It's worth understanding how Eriksen's integrated defibrilator will work to be able to scrutinise why Italy don't allow professional footballers to use them.
It involves a device that is directly connected to the heart whose generator of electric impulses is inserted under the skin. The electrodes are located on the vein leading to the heart and has connections in the atrium and right ventricle. The device detects when the heartbeat of the person is irregular or non-existent and emits impulses that correct it so that it returns to normal.
In the extreme case that a cardiac arrest occurs, the device will act accordingly in a similar way to a manual defibrilator. However, the vital element of the object is the aforementioned effect of correcting the rhythm of the heartbeat, as, without this correction, the heart would be unable to pump enough blood around the rest of the body.
