There’s been a silent growing string of players facing heart related problems. From Fabrice muamba, iker, lucas silva, dani carvajal etc and now Christian Eriksen. Per ESPN, Eriksen suffered cardiac arrest 2 days ago. And there’s talks that he may be forced to retire if he wants to live longer. What could be the underlying cause of this slow creeping but sudden devil that abruptly ends careers. You wouldn’t expect this in athletes due to their healthy lifestyle. But it’s never out of the realms of possibility for anyone.
