England captain Harry Kane to present Denmark with gift for Christian Eriksen ahead of Euros semi-final

Harry Kane and the rest of the England squad will be handing over a gift to Denmark tonight in a symbolic gesture of unity following Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest last month.

In the moments leading up to tonight’s Euros semi-final match, it is believed that Kane will gift his Danish counterpart, Simon Kjaer with a signed England shirt baring Eriksen’s name.

Kane, who was team-mates with Eriksen at Tottenham, wished him nothing but all the best in his recovery.

He told talkSPORT: “I spoke to him after what happened to him and wished him well. He sent me a quick message back to say he’s okay.

“I kind of left him alone. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster for not just him but his family as well. I’m sure he’ll be cheering against me on Wednesday, and rightly so. He will back his country all the way.”

The heartfelt gesture comes in the wake of Eriksen’s cardiac arrest during Denmark’s match against Finland on June 12th.

Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in front of his team mates, his wife, and thousands of horrified fans.

The twenty-nine-year old was resuscitated there and then on the pitch before being taken to the hospital, where he had a cardioverter defibrillator implanted. He is now at home recovering.

England will take on Denmark in the semi-final of the Euros tonight at Wembley at 8pm.
