EM 2021: Due to defibrillator - is Eriksen no longer allowed to play in Italy?
Because the midfielder had an ICD defibrillator inserted, he is now facing problems in Italy.
The Inter Milan * professional may no longer be allowed to play in the Italian Serie A *.
It is forbidden in Italy to do top-class sports with an ICD device, said Lucio Mos, the chairman of the Italian Sports Cardiologist Association, at "Radio Punto Nuovo", thereby confirming a corresponding report by
Gazzetta dello Sport
.
“The protocols are very strict in Italy.
So it seems impossible to me that we will see Eriksen again in the Italian competition. "
As
Sky Italia
reports, it is generally prohibited in Serie A that players play with permanent implants.
Experts see too great a risk that the defibrillator will break, for example in the event of a blow.
It is not yet clear whether Eriksen will ever step onto a soccer field again.
In addition, it is still too early to say exactly how long he will have to wear the defibrillator in his body.
