Christian Eriksen scored within two minutes of coming on during the second half during when Denmark entertained Netherlands.
Despite a 4-2 loss to the Dutchmen, the goal was his 110th in international football.
“I was pleased to show I can still play. It feels like I’ve never been away from the team. It was a bit emotional to be back in the national team but I’ve hardly missed any games over the last 10 years so I’m like part of the family.” Eriksen told Dutch TV
Eriksen had to have a device fitted to his heart after collapsing during Denmark's Euro 2020 match against Finland at Copenhagen's Parken Stadium.
His time at Inter Milan in Serie A came to an end as a result of the unfortunate turn of events.
Christian returned to the field in February 2022, joining Brentford after Inter Milan terminated his contract since Serie A does not allow players with an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to compete in the league.
Brentford signing was a lifeline for the star who caught global attention as the Premier League does not follow the same rules.
He made his Denmark return on Saturday, March 26. He was given a standing ovation from fans and players on both sides when he came on after 52 minutes.
Denmark qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar by winning their group with 27 points from ten games, four points ahead of second-placed Scotland.
"I'm looking forward to playing at the Qatar World Cup but there are a lot of games in between and I'm focused on them," Christian Eriksen said.
