He made his debut for the club on Saturday, making his return to football after a long time away. His side lost 2-0 to Eddie Howe and his team.

If you take away the result. I am one happy man. Being back is a wonderful feeling.

When I came on, Thomas didn't say much. I have been talking to him every day for the last few weeks. He said good luck and enjoyed the game.

You can't predict the game. I don't think anyone expected us to be down to 10 men so early. The guys did what they could. It was a good fight.

It has been very special since day one. They have taken good care of me. Everyone has been very helpful and everyone has been really happy about it.

Everyone is here. My family, my parents, my kids, my mother in law and some doctors have been helping me. What they have been through is worse than what I have been through.

It is a big day for all of us but especially Christian and his family, as Thomas Frank announced at a news conference on Friday.

If you have had a cardiac arrest, you could have a normal life after you have been checked.

Just eight months after the incident, the player described his ICD as his protection.

My ICD is here to protect me. I will have my own if anything happens to me, so there is no need for a defibrillator. Extra security is what it is. "I am more protected here than you guys," he said.

That is how I feel. I feel safe with it. I don't feel weird. I don't feel like I'm being annoying. I have to go around instead of going through a scanning device at the airport.

He played a key role in helping the club reach the final of the European Championship.

He said that he wanted to get the feeling and touch back, and help the team stay in the league.
