Will superstar Eriksen make his debut against BVB? "I'm fit and ready" | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund faces VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday. Midfield star Christian Eriksen could make his Bundesliga debut.

Christian Eriksen could celebrate his debut in the German league this coming Sunday at the Bundesliga match between VfL Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund. The Danish record international only joined the Wolves a week ago and is already poised for his first appearance. “I am fit and ready,” Eriksen emphasized at his new club’s charity event “Wir für euch.”

The 33-year-old brings international experience from England, Italy, and the Netherlands. Especially during his appearances in the Champions League and Premier League, he gained valuable experience at the highest level. For Wolfsburg, Eriksen could immediately become a key player. However, coach Paul Simonis is still deciding on his involvement: “We have to be careful. Our challenge is to help Christian get a little better every day.”

Before the BVB match: Eriksen appointed to team council

In addition to the prospect of minutes on the pitch, Eriksen has already experienced a small promotion within the team: after just two training sessions, he was appointed to the six-member team council. “Christian has experience and I also wanted one of the new signings in the council,” Simonis explained.

Eriksen’s return to the pitch after his cardiac arrest at the 2021 Euros is an impressive comeback for many fans. For VfL Wolfsburg, the new signing is also a potential source of inspiration: the club wants to improve its previously poor record in Dortmund. In the past twelve Bundesliga matches against BVB, the Wolves have failed to win.

With other Danish teammates such as Andreas Skov Olsen, Jesper Lindström, and Jonas Wind in the squad, Christian Eriksen’s integration should be further facilitated. The midfield strategist himself remains optimistic: “If you ask me: yes. But the coach picks the team and decides who is ready for the match. But I am ready to play.”
