Christen Eriksen
Christen Eriksen said it was his "dream" to play for Denmark again following his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020

A Manchester United player has been named in the preliminary squad for the world cup.

Eriksen had life-saving treatment on the pitch after collapsing during the Euro 2020 game.

The final five will be revealed after the last round of European games.

They play Tunisia on November 22nd.

The final squad must be delivered by the 13th of November.

There are many things that can happen. There are two games left for many of our players, and that can change things.

There are a number of players still in the running.

The former Spurs player had an ICD device fitted after he had a heart attack at the European Championship.

He said it was a goal and a dream to play for his country again in front of their home crowd at Parken Stadium.

After agreeing to end his contract with Inter Milan early as players with an ICD cannot play in Italy's top league, Christian Eriksen joined the Bees on a six-month contract.

He joined United on a free transfer after scoring two minutes after coming on for the Danes in a friendly against the Netherlands.

Other top-flight players given a place in the squad include Spurs' Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

France and Australia will face off on 26 and 30 November, respectively, after the opening Group D game between Tunisia andDenmark.
