Recent Absences and Club Form
The Denmark international had been absent from his country’s last two matches, both in early September. During these internationals, Denmark played to a goalless draw with Scotland and achieved a 3:0 victory against Greece. Eriksen had not played at club or international level since departing Manchester United in June.
Following his move as a free agent, Eriksen signed a two-year contract with Wolfsburg. He has since made substitute appearances in Bundesliga matches against Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, both ending in 0:1 defeats for Wolfsburg.
Eriksen’s Journey: Stats and Achievements
Eriksen’s international career has seen him participate in a record 144 matches for the Denmark national team. Notably, he suffered a cardiac incident during the European Championship in 2021 but made a full recovery and has continued to contribute extensively to his national side since that event.
