Christian Eriksen and his partner Sabrina Kvist JensenCredit: InstagramEriksen completed his remarkable turnaround by scoring Denmark’s first goal of Euro 2024 in the 1-1 draw against Slovenia.Who is Sabrina Kvist?Born in the town of Tommerup in Denmark, Sabrina currently lives with Eriksen.A trained hairdresser, she prefers to keep a low profile and isn’t one to hog the public limelight.Sabrina originally stayed on the continent to complete her hairdressing education whilst Eriksen earned his stripes with Spurs, before moving to England where she worked for a clothing company.The pair bought a house in Hampstead back in 2016, as the former Tottenham midfielder emerged as one of Europe’s leading playmakers.But the great Dane admitted that he’d found it hard to adjust to life in London and moved to Inter Milan. The Danish couple live in London with their young sonHe said in 2016: “You have to learn how to cope physically and mentally, but I can handle the pressure and the demands because I live seven days a week for my job.“That is very tough for my girlfriend. Of course, I would like to go out in the city with her and friends, but it just doesn’t fit in with playing in England.”What happened to Christian Eriksen in the Denmark vs Finland Euro 2020 game?Christian Eriksen collapsed in the 43rd minute during Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener with Finland.The shocking scenes happened towards the end of the first half of the teams’ opening match.His distraught team-mates formed a circle around the Inter Milan ace, with some in tears.Uefa announced the Group B match has been suspended due to a “medical emergency.”The stadium announcer told fans that the game had been suspended due to a medical emergency and to stay in their seats.Sabrina Kvist Jensen was seen in tears and being consoled by Danish players after she rushed down to the pitch.It was confirmed afterwards that the star had suffered a cardiac arrest, from which he has since made a full recovery – but is yet to return to action. Sabrina consoled by Eriksen’s team-mate Simon KjaerCredit: EPAHow long has she been with Christian Eriksen?One of football’s quieter couples, the pair like to keep their private life behind closed doors.Neither are often seen out in the hustle-bustle of London life and instead prefer quieter meals with friends.They have been together since 2012.FOOTBALL LATESTDo the pair have children?Eriksen and Sabrina have one son and one daughter.Who did Christian Eriksen play for after his cardiac arrest?Christian Eriksen mutually terminated his contract with Inter Milan before 2022 following his cardiac arrest at the Euro 2020 – with the Danish icon banned from playing in Italy whilst having a heart defibrillator.However, in the latter stages of the January transfer window, London outfit Brentford confirmed the signing of Eriksen on a six-month contract.And in that time, the midfield maestro managed five goal contributions in 11 matches, quickly becoming a fans favourite at the Brentford Community Stadium.Who does Christian Eriksen play for now?Brentford reportedly offered Eriksen a contract to stay on in London however, the Danish magician verbally AGREED a deal in principle to join Manchester United on a free transfer.He became a fan favourite in his first season at Old Trafford, playing 44 matches under Erik ten Hag as the Red Devils won the League Cup and qualified for the Champions League.His second season was slightly less successful, as he was hit with injuries and managed just 28 appearances – with United finishing with their lowest points total in the Premier League era.With Ten Hag on the brink of being sacked, United stunned local rivals Man City to win the FA Cup.Eriksen was an unused sub in the game.

      The next obstacle for The Danes will be a match-up with England at Deutch Bank Park on Thursday.
      There is no doubt that they will have looked at this as the toughest test of their fixtures in this group.
      Slovenia meanwhile, will play Serbia in the Allianz Arena.
      Copy linkCopiedRasmus struggles to make impact
      Rasmus Hojlund put in a shift for Denmark today but it seemed to be a common theme which we saw in the Premier League.
      He likes to drop deep into pockets of space and work the channels but far too often is not in the penalty area.
      This drastically effects his numbers and some would say is why he is not hitting 20 goals a season as when he receives the ball, he is in positions where he cannot hurt the opposition.
      Copy linkCopiedDragons show they have fight in them
      Slovenia will have impressed many this evening with their effort levels right up until the final whistle.
      Despite going behind to Denmark, they gave up hope that they could find a way back into this game.
      At one stage, having got their goal, you even wondered whether they would go on to win the match.

      Christian Eriksen showed us just how much he still has to offer this Denmark team this afternoon.
      Despite not having as much game time as he would have liked at Old Trafford this season, Eriksen put in a man of the match performance.
      Everything that Denmark did well was as a result of the playmaker.
      England beware.

      Slovenia are putting crosses into the box from deep positions but are struggling to penetrate the Danish defence.

      60. Slovenia need to find a way to get Sesko into the game more.

      58. Am not sure with under two hours until the kick-off in their own game whether any of the England squad will be watching this one.
      One thing is for sure that Gareth Southgate will be replaying this to his squad before they meet either team.
      In the previous Euros, it was England who knocked out Denmark at the semi-final stage.

      56. Hojlund has been busy in the final third, makes runs into the channels but never seems to spend enough time in the box.
