After falling on Saturday, Christian Eriksen was taken to hospital and “stabilised,” according to UEFA.
Inter midfielder Eriksen was “awake” and set for “additional medical examinations,” according to the Danish Football Union, after he fell to the ground with no other players near him during the first half of Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland in Copenhagen.
Teammates and referee Anthony Taylor yelled for medical assistance right away, with the players forming a protective barrier around Eriksen as resuscitation attempts were made.
The match was immediately called off “due to a medical issue,” according to UEFA.
Christian Eriksen had a Facetime call with his teammates from the hospital and asked them to play the game tonight, as “he feels better now”, @sportstudio just reported. 🇩🇰❤️ #prayforEriksen
