Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen is in hospital after collapsing in the Euro 2020 match against Finland. The 29-year-old’s condition has been “stabilised”, according to tournament organisers Uefa.
The Group B game was suspended before half-time after the Inter Milan player fell to the ground. The referee immediately called for medical support and Eriksen received CPR before the players were taken off the pitch and the match was postponed.
“Following the medical emergency involving Denmark’s player Christian Eriksen, a crisis meeting has taken place with both teams and match officials and further information will be communicated,” said Uefa. “The player has been transferred to the hospital and has been stabilised.” they added.
The incident happened as a throw-in was played towards him near the end of the first half. His distressed team-mates surrounded him and the shocked supporters in Copenhagen were visibly upset as the player was treated.
Eriksen’s club, Inter, tweeted: “Forza Chris, all of our thoughts are with you.” Former team Tottenham said: “Get well soon, Christian. The whole Spurs family is with you.”
