Sharma, a professor of sports cardiology at London’s St George’s University who knew Eriksen from his stint at Tottenham spoke with New Daily where he revealed that the midfielder may not be allowed to play again but his level of certainty was a bit down.
In his words: “Clearly, something went terribly wrong,
“But they managed to get him [Eriksen] back, the question is what happened? And why did it happen?This guy had normal tests all the way up to 2019, so how do you explain this cardiac arrest?”
“The fact he is stable and awake, his outlook is going to be very good. I don’t know whether he will ever play football again.
“Without putting it too bluntly, he died today, albeit for a few minutes, but he did die and would the medical professional allow him to die again? “The answer is no. His cardiac arrest has rocked the entire nation today and that’s what happens. It is not just them that it affects, it’s the psyche of so many people,” he added.
“The good news is he will live. The bad news is he was coming to the end of his career, so would he play another professional football game? That I can’t say.
“In the UK he wouldn’t play. We would be very strict about it.”
