Christian Eriksen is not permitted to play in Italy this season as a result of the cardiac arrest suffered at Euro 2020, Internazionale have said, but the Serie A champions are open to letting the Denmark midfielder leave.

Eriksen suffered the cardiac arrest during his country’s opening game of the tournament in June and received life-saving treatment on the pitch. He later had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device implanted, a type of pacemaker which can prevent fatal cardiac arrests by discharging a jolt to restore a regular heart rhythm.
