Wolfsburg terminate Eriksen contract after on-pitch collapse
–
Neutral summary
Wolfsburg and Christian Eriksen have agreed to terminate the midfielder's contract by mutual consent, the club announced on Wednesday, 23 September. The 34-year-old Dane has not played since losing consciousness during a Denmark friendly against Ukraine in June. It was the second such incident in his career: in 2021 he suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch at the European Championship and was resuscitated. Eriksen joined Wolfsburg in 2025, and his contract was due to run until the summer of 2027. The Independent reports the decision follows his second on-pitch collapse. Eriksen, as quoted by ANSA, said: “At the moment it is important for me to be close to my family in Denmark.” Ouest-France notes the club was relegated to the second division for the first time in its history last season.
