Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen, who is recovering from a cardiac arrest suffered in his team's opening game at Euro 2020, has been invited to Sunday's final by UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin. Eriksen and his partner "have been invited by the president in person", a UEFA spokesperson told AFP. The 29-year-old Inter Milan playmaker spent several days in hospital and had a defibrillator implanted to regulate his heartbeat. While Eriksen's prospects of resuming his career are shrouded in doubt, he has been cheering on Denmark from home. Kasper Hjulmand's side have bounced back from losing their first two games, beating the Czech Republic 2-1 in Baku in the quarter-finals last Saturday.
