Eriksen added that he has already discussed with the coach about his playing time, and he hopes things would change soon.
His words, “I’ve said in the past that I’m not happy with not playing, but it’s not something I lose sleep over. The team performs and then I have to respect the role you have on the side. For me, it’s been working hard and focusing on being fresh for every game, and I am. It’s easier now to accept my role than it was before.
I have had a conversation with Erik (ten Hag) that of course I am unhappy with the situation and that I want to play as much as possible, but that I am available and must be available for the team, which I am and always will be. He said it was the team he had chosen and Kobbie (Mainoo) is doing well and the rest of the centre is doing well too, so there is competition for places, which is to be expected when you play for a top club. There is a lot of competition in the team.”
