Eriksen believes he can get back to his best at Brentford

Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen insists he can perform as well as he did before his cardiac arrest.

Eriksen collapsed on the pitch during Denmark’s European Championship game against Finland last June and has not played since.

The former Tottenham midfielder was unable to continue his Inter Milan career due to rules in Italy concerning athletes fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).

But the 29-year-old is back in the Premier League at Brentford until the end of the season and says his Bees debut is “not far off”.

“I won’t change my style of play,” Eriksen said in an interview with BBC Sport. “To get back to the (same) level I will do everything I can to get back.

“I have had the time to be disciplined for the last six months to do extras, so even now maybe I am in a better condition than before – just the football missing.

“I feel like me so don’t see a reason why I can’t get back to the same level.”
