Christian Eriksen awake and talking after collapse in Euro 2020 game
The match between Denmark and Finland was suspended for nearly two hours
Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen is awake and stable in hospital. The Inter Milan player spoke to his team-mates and told them to continue the game against Finland in Euro 2020, according to German media.
Eriksen was taken to a Copenhagen hospital after collapsing during the clash with Finland in the Danish capital.
UEFA said he has “stabilised” in a Tweet and later news came through that he wanted the team to finish the game, suspended for nearly two hours after he collapsed shortly before half-time.
The players finished the four minutes remaining of the first half, had a five minute break for half-time and then restarted the second half.
Eriksen needed CPR on the pitch and Sport English wishes him a full and quick recovery.
