Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen could receive permission from FIFA if Denmark decideto include him in their final 23-men squadfor the upcoming2022 World Cup in Qatar in November. FIFA rules state that screening must be done to diagnose heart problems or risk factors that can lead to unexpected cardiac failure during a match.

All World Cup participants will have to submit a document tothe international governing body stating that their players have undergone medical tests. “When it comes to FIFA tournaments, all players must have a cardiological examination to make sure they are fully aware of anything that may affect their health. The final decision on the performance is made by the player and the relevant federation,” a FIFA spokesman has said.

The Dane, who turns 30 on February 14,stated in a previous interview that he wants to play atQatar 2022, and it is what has led him to make a sensational comeback to the Premier League with Brentford during the winter transfer window. Interestingly, the player had passed all medical exams prior to putting pen to paper with the Bees, suggesting that he indeed is in good health at the moment.

“I have always wanted to play. It’s my ambition, my desire. It’s another matter of whether or not I will be chosen. I’m confident I will be able to return because I don’t feel any different. Physically, I’m in great shape again. My ambition has always been to play in the World Cup, but it’s still a long way off, so I will just keep playing football and proving that I’m back on track.

“I wantto return to the national team and play at Parken once again, proving that what happened was a one-time occurrence that will not occur again. I want to show that I have progressed and that I’m capable of returning to the national team” , said the playmaker in early January once he was released from Serie A side Inter as a result of the country’s strictimplanted cardioverter defibrillator rules.
