Tap title to read story

Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen has mutually agreed to terminate his contract with German soccer club Wolfsburg. The decision follows his on-field medical collapse on June 7, 2026, during an international friendly match between Denmark and Ukraine in Odense. Eriksen, who joined Wolfsburg as a free agent ahead of the 2025-26 Bundesliga season, experienced a cardiac incident involving his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, echoing his similar cardiac arrest during the 2021 European Championship. The 34-year-old player has not appeared in a match since the June incident and spent subsequent months undergoing rehabilitation in Denmark. In a statement released by the club, Eriksen expressed gratitude for his time at Wolfsburg and stated that his immediate priority is remaining close to his family in Denmark to focus on his health and recovery. Wolfsburg concluded their season with relegation from the top tier of German professional soccer.
