While You Were Asleep: Christian Eriksen named in Denmark’s preliminary squad,

Following Eriksen’s cardiac arrest, the former Tottenham and Inter Milan footballer had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device – a type of pacemaker – fitted.

Eriksen joined Brentford on a six-month deal at the start of the year after agreeing to end his contract with Inter Milan prematurely as players with an ICD cannot play in Serie A.

He made his international return in March and scored two minutes after coming on for Denmark in a friendly defeat by the Netherlands, before completing a move to United in the summer on a free transfer.

Denmark will take on Tunisia on November 22.

It was only Madrid’s second defeat in all competitions after a loss at Leipzig in the group stage of the Champions League last month. Madrid won 15 of its first 19 games this season, with three draws.

Rayo Vallecano opened the scoring five minutes into the game when the midfielder Santi Comesaña finished from inside the box but Real responded quickly and went ahead with two goals in four minutes. Luka Modric converted a penalty after Marco Asensio was fouled inside the box and then Eder Militao’s towerig header gave them the lead.

Rayo forward Alvaro Garcia scored the equaliser just before half-time, scrambling home a loose ball.

In the 67th minute Rayo were given a penalty following a handball by the defender Dani Carvajal inside the area. Thibaut Courtois stopped Oscar Trejo’s effort, but the kick had to be retaken as goalkeeper Courtois had left his line too early. Trejo did not waste his second chance, scoring what proved to be the winner.
