Thursday, September 24, 2026 - Christian Eriksen and the German side VfL Wolfsburg have agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent, the club announced on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old collapsed during a Denmark friendly against
Ukraine in June. Eriksen said in July he would return
to his homeland to undergo a rehabilitation
programme. He previously suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s opening Euro 2020 group match against Finland in Copenhagen
in 2021.
“I want to let everyone know that I am doing well and that I
am home with my family. As you can probably imagine, receiving a shock from my
ICD has had a major impact on both me and my family, but I want to reassure
everyone that this was a different situation from what happened in 2021. I am
feeling good, and my recovery has already started.”
“In addition to being grateful for the support and
assistance of all the players and the medical team on the field, 1 am also
incredibly grateful to the doctors who have cared for me and my heart over the
years.”
Thanks to their expertise, my ICD did exactly what it was
designed to do: protect me when I needed it. For now, my focus is on
recovering, spending time with my family, going on vacation, and playing
football with my children.” Christian Eriksen said this in an Instagram post.
The decision brings an end to
Eriksen’s
contract, which was set to run until June 2027.
The midfielder joined Wolfsburg as a free agent a year ago,
making 34 appearances across all competitions.
Eriksen scored three goals and provided 10 assists for the
Wolves, but could not prevent their relegation from the Bundesliga.
