Christian Eriksen collapses during Denmark friendly, match abandoned

sportsJun 7, 202653897

Christian Eriksen collapsed clutching his chest during Denmark's friendly against Ukraine at Odense Stadion, and officials abandoned the match. The Danish Football Association said Eriksen regained consciousness after on-field treatment and walked to the ambulance. Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2021 and later received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. The incident puts his playing future in doubt and underscores cardiac safety and emergency response protocols in football.

Hopefully he recovers well, but at the age of 34, having played for some big clubs and won some trophies, it's time to hang up the boots. Anything other than that at this stage is unfair to his family, and to himself even.

Jeez not again. 🙏for a full recovery.

Hope he is doing well now! ❤️

Glad he's alright. But maybe he should consider retirement before it's too late.

Sounds like his fitted defibrillator did its job - it's amazing he's still committed to friendlies with Denmark after a hard relegation season with Wolfsburg. Glad he's up and about

Hey international followers. Christian Eriksen is alright. He left the pitch by himself and on to further checks. Pacemakers are so important and crazy powerful.

Denmark’s team doctor Morten Boesen says Christian Eriksen’s pacemaker “responded as it should”, adding the midfielder “regained consciousness very quickly”. Eriksen will undergo further tests to determine what caused the incident.🙏

Christian Eriksen needs to retire immediately, he can't keep ignoring the warnings, at least he was able to walk off the pitch this time 🙏

Ukraine's 2nd match under their new boss was abandoned tonight. For the 2nd time in his career, Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field: players from both sides protected him from view. Thankfully he regained consciousness & walked to the ambulance. Denmark were leading 2-1 at the time.

Blimey, hasn’t this happened to him before or am I confusing him with someone else?

I don't like this. Hearing about him collapsing in the pitch is something that will always stay with me.

Christian Eriksen receives an ovation as he is escorted to an ambulance on the way to hospital. Eriksen is conscious and was walking after collapsing on the pitch. The referee has ended the game, and both Denmark and Ukraine teams are seen gathering afterwards.
