CNN
Christian Eriksen is set to make an emotional return to Parken Stadium on Tuesday, just over nine months on from suffering a cardiac arrest on the very same pitch.
The Danish midfielder collapsed during his country's match against Finland in Copenhagen at Euro 2020 last year and subsequently received life-saving treatment on the field.
Eriksen marked his return to international football in stunning fashion on Saturday, scoring with his first touch in Denmark's 4-2 defeat to the Netherlands in Amsterdam. Playing at the stadium of his former club, Ajax, the 30-year-old received a hero's welcome from the Dutch crowd.

A federal judge signed off on arguably the biggest change in the history of college sports on Friday, clearing the way for schools to begin paying their athletes millions of dollars as soon as next month as the multibillion-dollar industry shreds the last vestiges of the amateur model that defined it for more than a century.
