Christian Eriksen: Denmark midfielder remains stable and sends greetings to teammates after collapsing during Euro 2020 opener against Finland

Christian Eriksen remains in a stable condition and sent his greetings to his team-mates, the Danish FA has said after the player collapsed during Denmark’s opening Euro 2020 match.

The 29-year-old was given emergency CPR on the pitch with the game against Finland temporarily suspended just before half-time.

Eriksen is currently being treated at Rigshospitalet, one of Denmark’s top hospitals, which is less than a mile from Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.

“This morning we have spoken to Christian Eriksen, who has sent his greetings to his teammates,” a Danish FA statement read on Twitter.

“His condition is stable, and he continues to be hospitalised for further examination.”

The Danish team have cancelled all their planned media activities for Sunday and also postponed a training session to give players more time to process the incident.

The statement continued: “The team and staff of the national team has received crisis assistance and will continue to be there for each other after yesterday’s incident.

“We would like to thank everyone for the heartfelt greetings to Christian Eriksen from fans, players, the Royal Families from both Denmark and England, international associations, clubs etc.

“We encourage everyone to send their greetings to the Danish FA, where we will make sure they are all passed on to Christian and his family.”

UEFA confirmed the Group B match had been halted due to a “medical emergency” after Eriksen dropped to the ground shortly before half-time, leaving players from both teams in clear distress.

English referee Anthony Taylor called medics on to the pitch and Eriksen underwent prolonged treatment, including CPR.
