Inter, Eriksen: "I don't want to spend the entire autumn on the bench."

He is a key piece of the Danish national team, scoring in Wednesday's friendly against the Faroe Islands, but Christian Eriksen has still struggled to find consistent playing time in the Inter shirt. He was a starter in the team's first match against Fiorentina, but has only played nine total minutes in the two following games combined.

This is a situation that Eriksen hopes to change soon, as he explained to the Danish paper Tipsbladet.

"I surely do not hope to sit on the bench all autumn, it's not my intention to do so and I hope it's also not the intention of the club and manager. There will be many matches to play. The Champions League starts just after we return from the national teams and I'm sure I'll play a lot. It depends a lot on the people abroad, and I expected this."
