Copenhagen, July 7: Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen, and his wife have been invited to the final of Euro 2020, set to be played at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
The invitation was sent out by UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin. “Christian Eriksen and his wife have been invited by the UEFA President but we do not know if they will come or prefer to rest,” a UEFA spokesperson told ANI.
As per a report on Goal.com, half-dozen medical staff who attended to him following his cardiac arrest during Euro 2020 group stage game against Finland have also been invited to the final of the tournament. Euro 2020: Why Italy Are Firm Favourites To Win European Championship.

Earlier, England captain Harry Kane had revealed that his team would make a special presentation for Eriksen ahead of the semi-final clash against Denmark.
