Brentford, struggling to stay, were down 2-0 at home when the 30-year-old Dane came on, and were ten against eleven after Josh Dasilva was sent off.
"It's a great day for all of us, but especially for Christian and his family," coach Thomas Frank announced on Friday, promising that Eriksen would have at least a few minutes of play on Saturday.

The Dane had signed up with the English club on the last day of the winter transfer window at the end of January, and had already played a few minutes with his new club in a friendly match.
Eriksen had been forced to terminate his contract with Inter Milan, his former club, this type of device being deemed incompatible with the practice of professional football in Italy, which is not the case in England.
The images of the Dane lying on the lawn of the Parken stadium in Copenhagen, surrounded by his teammates and under the eyes of the 32,000 spectators, had caused a wave of emotion in the world of football.

Eriksen considers that he was "dead for five minutes" from this 42nd minute when he collapsed on the lawn, under the helpless gaze of his companion Sabrina Kvist on the bench, before being revived on the field by doctors.
