“Next week, it should be gone and I’ll be finally learning to walk! No, it feels good.”
When quizzed if he can still feature in a final this term, Eriksen answered: “Yeah, definitely. Before it was four but it’s now three and we’ve taken one. But there are so many games in between, before the next final. There will be a longer build-up if we get there. For me, there’s a lot of hard work coming back, getting my place back in the team, as I mean the team is performing and the guys are winning. So it’s a pleasure to watch.”
