Eriksen spoke by phone with VfL Wolfsburg's newly appointed football director Dieter Hecking on Saturday evening, with Hecking having also served as the club's head coach at the end of last season.
"Christian asked for a bit more time. He won't be showing up on Monday. As a club, we have naturally accommodated that wish," Hecking told local outlet Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung.
As previously reported by Danish outlets Bold and BT, Eriksen recently underwent an examination with a specialist, with the club now awaiting the final results of those tests. The assessment is intended to establish whether it remains safe for the 34-year-old to continue playing at the top level, or whether the specialist will recommend he bring his career to a close.
Eriksen joined Wolfsburg last year following his release from Manchester United, having also had spells at Tottenham and Inter Milan during a career that has seen him established as one of the finest players Danish football has produced.
He has continued playing for both club and country since his cardiac arrest, though the collapse in Odense marked the first such incident since that day at Euro 2020.
The situation follows Eriksen's collapse during Denmark's friendly against Ukraine in Odense on 7 June, which saw the match abandoned in the second half. Footage showed Eriksen clutching his chest before falling to the ground, with Danish team doctor Morten Boesen, credited with helping save Eriksen's life in 2021, confirming the player had been briefly unconscious before regaining awareness and walking off the pitch unaided.
Both Hecking and Wolfsburg sporting director Pirmin Schwegler contacted Eriksen shortly afterwards, telling him he should take whatever time he needed.
Leading Danish cardiologist Henning Molgaard has said publicly that he expects Eriksen to experience a similar episode again, though he stressed there was no way of knowing whether that might happen in three months or in ten years. Eriksen has lived with a heart condition since suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch at Euro 2020, after which he had a pacemaker fitted.
