Eriksen's prospects of resuming his career are in doubt and the use of such devices in professional football in Italy are not clear but the club is set to undergo medical tests on the former Tottenham playmaker.

"For now, he needs to rest, but as Inter coach I wait for him with open arms," Inzaghi said.

"I spoke to him before the Euro, not since his accident. He is a player who I would count on," he added.
