Inter May Allow Christian Eriksen Exit As He Won't Be Cleared In Italy

Oct 29, 2021 2:52 PM

Christian Eriksen is not permitted to play in Italy this season as a result of the cardiac arrest he suffered during the Euros in June.

Eriksen later had a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device implanted, a type of pacemaker which can prevent fatal cardiac arrests by discharging a jolt to restore a regular heart rhythm.

Francesco Braconaro, a member of the Italian Football Federation's technical scientific committee, said in August that Eriksen will not be allowed to play in Italy unless the ICD device is removed.

"With reference to the registration rights of the player Eriksen, it should be noted that following a serious injury which occurred during the European Championship in June 2021, the player has been temporarily inhibited by the Italian medical authority from sporting activity in the current season," Inter Milan wrote in a statement on Thursday.

"Although the current conditions of the player don't meet the requirements of achieving sporting fitness in Italy, the same could instead be achieved in other countries where the player could resume competitive activity."

Erling Haaland Out Several Weeks With Hip Muscle Injury

Oct 22, 2021 11:49 AM

Erling Haaland will be out for "a couple of weeks" with a hip muscle injury.

Haaland returned only last week from another muscle injury, scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Mainz before playing the whole game in Dortmund's 4-0 loss to Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday.

"Erling will be out, we'll be without him for a couple of weeks even," Marco Rose told a news conference.

"He has a hip flexor injury which simply doesn't make it possible for him to play. It's the same thigh, but another location."
