Christian Eriksen set to begin rehab after concerning medical incident during match

  • Wolfsburg midfielder Christian Eriksen is preparing to commence an individual rehabilitation programme in his native Denmark following a second medical incident in June.

  • Wolfsburg confirmed the rehabilitation plans, stating they are in regular contact with Eriksen and the doctors overseeing his treatment, wishing him the very best with his recovery.
