Denmark superstar Christian Eriksen will reportedly undergo a medical examination next month in the hope of returning to training.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that, Eriksen will have a crucial check-up to determine whether he can potentially play in the future.

Just three months after suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch during Denmark’s Euro 2020 clash with Finland, the Inter Milan ace was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) following the incident.

The Italian FA had said earlier in July that the ICD need to be removed from the Danes star in order to play for Inter again.

Eriksen is now set for an important check-up in October which could allow him to remove the ICD.

But the tests may also see the Dane needing to keep the device permanently.

Denmark and Inter doctors are said to be in constant touch over the matter.

And Eriksen could be allowed to start individual training before the results are in.

Eriksen thanked Denmark’s medical team last month, as well as international captain Simon Kjaer and teammates, for ‘saving his life’. He said:

“I would like to thank Morten Skjoldager, Morten Boesen and the medical team who helped that day. You did a fantastic job and saved my life.

"Also a big thanks to my friend and captain Simon and my team-mates in for your support, both on June 12 and afterwards.

"And thanks to all the fans who have sent messages to me and my family. It means a lot and has given us strength and support. Thank you."
