England captain Harry Kane to present Christian Eriksen tribute and makes Euro 2020 demand
Captain Harry Kane will present an England shirt with the number 10 on the back to Denmark ahead of kick-off Wednesday night as a tribute to Christian Eriksen. The on-pitch heart attack suffered by Eriksen at the Euros shocked the sporting world and England were keen to make a gesture of support for him at Wembley.
It will have particular resonance for Kane, Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier as former teammates of Eriksen at Spurs.
“We were on the coach before the Croatia game and we saw it on the screens,” said Trippier.
“It’s just hard to put into words because I’ve played with him; I was close with Christian. It’s just important that he is here with us, he’s getting better, he’s making progress.
“I messaged him through social media but it’s private what he said. This is the time to give him privacy, with his family and his children. We just want him to make progress in his recovery.”
Meanwhile, Kane has ordered his England troops to seize the day tomorrow night in their make-or-break Euros semi-final.
