STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Christian Eriksen said on Tuesday he intended to return to football to play for Denmark at the World Cup but his interview with a Danish broadcaster posed many questions, with the playmaker's future still up in the air.

The Dane recently had his contract terminated by Inter Milan after having a heart starter device implanted following his dramatic collapse while playing for his country against Finland at Euro 2020 in Copenhagen.The interview, part of which was published by public service broadcaster DR on Tuesday, could be seen as a come-and-get-me plea from the softly-spoken 29-year-old, but his options for a return remain uncertain.

He is exactly the kind of creative spark needed at Premier League strugglers Newcastle United, who are awash with money after a recent takeover by a Saudi consortium. "That's really why I feel it's time to get out and do an interview, because I know what I want - I want to play football again," he told DR.

"They have said 'fine', said it's good, so everything is stable, which therefore feels like a green light to be able to play football again," Eriksen said.
