BREAKING: Eriksen Stable After Collapse After Initial Scare

Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field during his country’s opening Euro 2020 match against Finland in Copenhagen.

The Inter star went down during the opening half of the Group B match and required extensive medical attention on the pitch.

His Danish teammates and supporters in the ground were visibly distressed during what appeared to be a serious medical situation.

After Eriksen was taken to the hospital, UEFA sent out word that he’d been “stablilised.” The Danish FA also confirmed that Eriksen was awake

Following the medical emergency involving Denmark’s player Christian Eriksen, a crisis meeting has taken place with both teams and match officials and further information will be communicated at 19:45 CET.

The player has been transferred to the hospital and has been stabilised.

The Danish FA also sent out a tweet saying: “Christian Eriksen is awake and is undergoing further examinations” at the hospital.

Play came to a halt just before half-time as Eriksen, without any players around him, dropped to the ground.

Referee Anthony Taylor immediately blew his whistle and brought proceedings to a halt. Denmark and Finland immediately called for the medical staff, who raced onto the pitch to administer treatment.

His Danish teammates formed a shield around him as the medics provided treatment before white sheets were held up around him to provide privacy.

Eriksen was eventually removed from the ground on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. Goal
