CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN has been invited to Sunday’s Euros final — along with the brilliant paramedics who saved his life.
The Denmark star, 29, suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch in their opening match against Finland.
Eriksen and his wife will now make a decision on whether to fly over for the Wembley showpiece.
Medic Peder Ersgaard said: “I’m excited — like a child on Christmas Eve.
“I’m very proud of my efforts but also of the whole team. It wasn’t a one-man effort.”
Harry Kane is a pal of former Spurs team-mate Eriksen and watched on in horror as events unfolded on June 12.
But the England captain, 27, insists Denmark’s improvement is not just because of the emotion surrounding the incident.
Kane said: “I texted him after it happened and he texted me back.
“I don’t want to bombard him with messages but he knows he has a place in my heart — and all of ours in the footballing world.
“Denmark are a great team. We played them in the Nations League twice and didn’t win one game.
“But it’s not a case of, all of a sudden, that they have become a great team because of the Eriksen situation. They were a great team anyway.”
