COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AFP) — Christian Eriksen is in “good spirits”, said the Danish team football doctor, despite being hospitalised after collapsing during Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine, five years after suffering cardiac arrest during the European Championship.
The 34-year-old former Manchester United midfielder, who had a type of pacemaker inserted after he collapsed in 2021, fell to the ground in the 64th minute of the match in Odense on Sunday.
Medical staff rushed onto the pitch while players from both teams gathered around him to shield the scene from television or smartphone cameras.
