Denmark’s Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in a match vs Ukraine on Saturday, leading to match getting called off. He was conscious, the Danish Football Federation said in a social media post.
“Christian Eriksen is conscious and is doing well under the circumstances,” the federation said in a statement on X.
The incident brought back horrible memories from 2021 when Eriksen had collapsed during a Euro 2020 match in Copenhagen and was given life-saving CPR treatment. He was later fitted with a special heart-starting device known as an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD).
