COPENHAGEN (Denmark): Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen remained in hospital but is in a “stable” condition after collapsing in his country’s Euro 2020 game against Finland on Saturday, the Danish Football Union (DBU) said.
“This morning we have spoken to Christian Eriksen, who has sent his greetings to his teammates. His condition is stable, and he continues to be hospitalized for further examination,” the football body said in a post to Twitter.
The game was temporarily suspended awaiting confirmation that Eriksen was alright. The match was resumed later in the evening with Finland winning 1-0.
DBU also said that the team and staff had “received crisis assistance and will continue to be there for each other after yesterday’s incident.”
The Inter Milan star suddenly collapsed in the 43rd minute of Denmark’s opening Euro 2020 game against Finland, laying motionless as medical personnel administered CPR.
He laid on the field for about 15 minutes before being carried off the pitch and rushed to hospital.
