Inter Milan have terminated midfielder Christian Eriksen’s contract after the Denmark international was suspended from playing due to having a cardiac device fitted.
Eriksen, 29, has not played since suffering a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s opening game of the European Championship against Finland in June and receiving life-saving treatment on the pitch.
The 29-year-old is prohibited from playing in Italy with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator due to local health regulations. But he could continue his career in another country where the rules are different.
“The club and the entire Nerazzurri family wish Christian all the very best for his future,” Inter said in a statement.
