Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has been nominated for the 'Nothing is Impossible award'.
It is an award that goes to a person or team that has done the impossible and fought extraordinarily and persistently to achieve a great result.
Toyota, the Danish Sports Confederation (DIF) and Team Denmark are behind the prize, which is awarded in connection with Denmark's sports gala, Sport 2022.
"He has been nominated for the Nothing is Impossible award as a result of the challenges he has gone through after his cardiac arrest during a national match at the European Championships in 2021, and despite this has returned at the very highest level.
"Already after nine months, Christian Eriksen made a comeback in the national team and scored after two minutes on the pitch. Subsequently, he has been a regular in the national team, with club team Brentford in the top English division and is now a regular in midfield in a star-studded Manchester United team.
"He is a role model for many and underlines the fact that even if you are struck by a serious illness out of the blue, it is not impossible to fight back at the highest level," writes Toyota in a press release.
Eriksen has two competitors for the award, as he is up against tennis player Holger Rune and athlete Ida Karstoft, who actually has a past as a professional footballer for Brøndby IF and the Danish national team.
The prize will be awarded on 7 January.
