Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen believes be can get back to his best.

The attacking midfielder has been training with the Bees this week as he prepares to make a professional return following the cardiac arrest he suffered on the pitch at Euro 2020 in June last year.

Eriksen even feels he may be fitter than before the incident given the individual training he has been doing before signing his deal with Thomas Frank's side, who face Crystal Palace this weekend.

“I won't change my style of play," Eriksen said. “To get back to the level I will do everything I can to get back. I have had the time to be disciplined for the last six months, to do extras so even now maybe I am in a better condition than before, it's just the football missing. I feel like me so [I] don't see a reason why I can't get back to the same level."

Eriksen is hopeful of being available for selection in the near future, when he will become the first player to feature in the Premier League wearing an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, a device which shocks the heart to restore rhythm if the wearer suffers a cardiac arrest.

“I'm not far off, it is difficult to put a date on it when it is going to happen," Eriksen told BBC Sport.

“From what I have heard of I will be the first with an ICD playing in the Premier League. I don't really have any scared feelings about it, I don't feel my ICD so if it gets hit I know it is safe enough.

“I am not scared of the challenges ahead and the bullies in the game."
