Christian Eriksen terminates Wolfsburg contract after collapse, returns to Denmark

Danish football star Christian Eriksen is terminating his contract with German club Wolfsburg after collapsing this summer. "Right now it is important for me to be close to my family in Denmark," he said in a statement.

The 34-year-old Eriksen has not played since collapsing during Denmark's international match against Ukraine in Odense in June. It was the second time the Dane has collapsed during international play - the first was during Euro 2021 when he suffered a cardiac arrest and subsequently had a defibrillator fitted.

After the latest incident, Eriksen quickly said that he was feeling well and that the help from the implanted defibrillator "has a great impact on both me and my family."

The former Manchester United and Tottenham player signed for Wolfsburg last summer and had a contract until June 2027.
