Denmark’s doctor Morten Boesen spoke concerning the occasion.
“Christian is doing well and left the pitch himself. As I see it, the pacemaker is beating as it should. He was briefly unconscious, but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him.
Now he needs to be further examined at the hospital to find out what caused the incident.
We are in constant contact with him and the doctors at the hospital. But Christian is doing well, and he asked me to greet all the players and say that he was okay.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t the primary time that Eriksen has collapsed on the pitch. Five years in the past, he suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 throughout a gaggle stage match towards Finland.
During that occasion, his coronary heart reportedly stopped for 5 minutes earlier than he was revived. Eriksen went on to totally get better after he was given an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
With the match suspended, Denmark will likely be declared the 2-1 winner. Patrick Dorgu and Jakim Maelhe scored the staff’s two objectives within the first half.
Now all consideration turns to Eriksen and his restoration.
