Eriksen trains with boyhood club!

Before becoming famous, Christian Eriksen played for Odense, a Danish club who Ajax's scouts had their eyes to try and detect young talent. That is where he is playing now as he cannot play in the Serie A because he has a defibrillator installed. 

'BT' revealed this information. They included comments from Odense's director of football confirming it. "We're very happy that Christian Eriksen is keeping fit at the moment in our facilities. We have remained in contract with Christian since he left Odense and so we're happy he asked us if he could train in Adalen agaim," Michael Hemmingsen said. 

Inter Milan have been very understanding of the player's situation and they have let him travel to wherever he needs to be in order to make progress. Eriksen was working with a personal trainer and at 8am, he was putting the cones down on the training ground to be able to do what is asked of him. 

He focussed on cardiovascular exercises and he even had touches of the ball. Since the summer, Eriksen has been living in Adalen, the headquarters of some of Odense's facilities. It is a small town well away from the congested areas of Odense, 168km from Copenhagen, but separated by water. It is an ideal atmosphere for him to be calm and recover in his own time.

Ajax and Odense, options for the future

Christian Eriksen is not allowed to play for Inter Milan again. Serie A rules means he cannot play with a defibrillator and so, unless the rules are changed, Inter will sell him. In any case, Inter will make it easy for interested clubs so that Eriksen can continue his career without a probrlm. 

Ajax and Odense, at the moment, are the main options on the table. 'Il Corriere dello Sport' says that the Dutch club are thinking of signing him. However, Odense could have other ideas. 

The device Eriksen has is similar to that in this picture. When the heart stops beating or is in cardiac arrest, the device sends electric current to the heart to get it working again.
