Yeah it doesn't sit very well.Not quite slightly.He also puts the Danish doctor in a bit of a bad light. Not very collegial.

Wow, what a dickInteresting, if slightly self-aggrandizing, remarks from the German doctor:

Problem is the serology tests are quite unreliable and give false negatives all the time - might not hurt to check in this case specifically, but if used to screen players that might instill a false sense of security.I googled Eriksen and covid to see if he'd had it in the past and all I got was dozens of news articles about conspiracy theories claiming he had the vaccine days before his collapse, which Inter have had to quash...ffs.
I wonder if players are having antibody tests to determine if they've tested positive at any point without knowing? Any that have should 100% go through more vigorous tests on their hearts.
Interesting. I wonder if footballers, or other professional athletes, take out or are provided with long term disability insurance policies. Would insurers even underwrite that sort of risk? @Snowjoe?what happens if he has to retire, will he be covered by an insurance policy?
There was a footballer for Derry City many years ago, Liam Coyle. He had some amount of injuries. He was told he had to retire and got an insurance pay out. After about 2 years he made a comeback and had to pay the insurance back.Interesting.

I'd guess he'd almost certainly not play again. I mean, we hardly take concussion as seriously as they do in America, but a heart issue.... no chance. Thuram retired instantly on the back of his diagnosis that I recall, so did an NBA player this year. Obviously, he should be able to active to a reasonable high level, well that's me assuming, but to the absolute elite level, the training required to stay at the top....Any news yet on what caused it? Too soon to say if he will play again?

They’re definitely insured for injury and that sort of thing, I’ve seen a contract for Chelsea before, although didn’t look at it closely enough to see how coverage was applied but I’d be surprised if it didn’t cover him at least until the end of his current contract.Interesting.

I wonder how Inter and the insurers would have valued him at? Inter signed him on a free so knowing Italian clubs they probably put his value down as a pack of fusilli to keep the premiums down.There was a footballer for Derry City many years ago, Liam Coyle.

with regards to top level players like C.E I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t an insurance policy both for him & his club
But he wasn’t a free transfer.I wonder how Inter and the insurers would have valued him at? Inter signed him on a free so knowing Italian clubs they probably put his value down as a pack of fusilli to keep the premiums down.
Damn, just googled it, can't believe Inter paid €20m for him with 6 months left on his contract? Fast forward 18 months and their in a financial mess with their owners.But he wasn’t a free transfer.
YepWrong thread ?
Ah, that sucks. Seems a bit out of touch with how reliable such a device actually is.Serie A isn't allowing Eriksen to play with the defibrillator. Dude on the commitee says he would have to have it removed and then be medically cleared.
I think this means Eriksen is moving to a league that allows such a device. I know Blind plays with one for Ajax. EPL allows it too, I believe.
Would he pass a medical?Serie A isn't allowing Eriksen to play with the defibrillator. Dude on the commitee says he would have to have it removed and then be medically cleared.

I'm sure Ajax would love to have himWould he pass a medical?
Unfortunately many clubs may pass on the opportunity to sign him.
Tories and Republicans don't write EU labour laws, so no.Wouldn't surprise me if they try to do the dirty on him.
Can his contract be revoked due to medical reasons?
That's actually really interesting.. do clubs have this sort of insurance as well? I'd have assumed Clubs were the ones with insurance policies. If you spend big money on a player, you don't want to risk losing them due to a career ending injury in a year.They’re definitely insured for injury and that sort of thing, I’ve seen a contract for Chelsea before, although didn’t look at it closely enough to see how coverage was applied but I’d be surprised if it didn’t cover him at least until the end of his current contract.

As an Inter fan, it would shock me if we tried to pull some trick on him.Wouldn't surprise me if they try to do the dirty on him.
Can his contract be revoked due to medical reasons?
Well, he has just given them training, and he does clarify the sideline doctors need to treat many different types of injuries. It is clear he is a specialist, and as such, knows much more about the signs and treatment of cardiac arrest than the team doctor would be expected to know.Not quite slightly.He also puts the Danish doctor in a bit of a bad light. Not very collegial.
They may not have a choice if their insurance carriers refuse to cover a player with such a condition.Would he pass a medical?

What a nice fella.
Daily Blind has an ICD as well, so I'd expect Eriksen to be able to play as long as everything else is all okay.Apparently the timeline he's been given is 6 months before he can think about making some kind of comeback in the game.

Great news.Christian Eriksen: Inter Milan midfielder 'training by himself' at former club Odense Boldklub
https://www.skysports.com/football/...ing-by-himself-at-former-club-odense-boldklub
In the words of Lemmy, No Class.Should we buy him to replace Mata? We need a slow attacking midfielder who's very intelligent but not particularly athletic who we can't find a perfect position for.
