‘My Heart Is Not An Obstacle’- Eriksen Aims To Play At 2022 World Cup
Christian Eriksen says he is aiming to play at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar despite suffering a heart problem at last summer’s European Championship.
Eriksen has not returned to competitive action since the unfortunate incident and has had his contract with Inter Milan terminated by mutual consent.
The 29-year-old is now a free agent but is reportedly attracting interest from some Premier League clubs as well as former side Ajax Amsterdam.
"My goal is to play in the World Cup in Qatar," Eriksen told Danish channel DR1. "I want to play. That's been my mindset all along.
"It's a goal, a dream, whether I'll be picked is another thing. But it's my dream to come back.
"I'm sure I can come back because I don't feel any different. Physically, I'm back in top shape.
"That's been my goal, and it's still some time away, so until then I'm just going to play football and prove that I'm back at the same level.
"My dream is to rejoin the national team and play at Parken again, and prove that it was a one-timer and that it won't happen again. I want to prove that I can move on and play for the national team again.
"Again, it's up to the manager to assess my level. But my heart is not an obstacle."
Eriksen, who has 109 caps and 36 goals for Denmark, played at the 2010 and 2018 FIFA World Cups.
