Danish international footballer Christian Eriksen was given chest compressions by medics during the Euro 2020 clash against Finland in Copenhagen on Saturday.
Eriksen, 29, collapsed face first into the pitch while running to collect a throw-in with no other player near him. His teammates and Finnish players nearby quickly signalled to English referee Anthony Taylor that Eriksen, a former Tottenham Hotspur favourite, needed urgent medical attention.
The doctors ran over to Eriksen and, as it became apparent just how serious the situation was, the 16,000-strong crowd in the stadium fell silent. The Finnish midfielder Joel Pohjanpalo had his head in his hands in distress. Thomas Delaney, the Danish midfielder, used his shirt to wipe tears from his eyes. The Denmark players, stepping back to allow the medics access, formed a shield around Eriksen to allow him and the tending medics privacy.
A stadium announcer asked fans to stay in their seats until further information could be provided. Eriksen’s partner emerged on the pitch where she was consoled by Denmark captain Simon Kjaer and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Both teams subsequently left the field with officials holding up sheets to hide the stricken player from view.
Eriksen was given treatment for about 10 minutes before being carried off on a stretcher. A Reuters photographer reported seeing Eriksen raise his hand as he was carried away.

Re: Footballer collapses.
Glad to hear he survived this. But is the post to show that it is not fakery every time a footballer collapses?

Re: Footballer collapses.
I doubt that.
Today it was announced he had a cardiac arrest. 29 years old.
As a Spurs fan, it was tough to lose Ericksen to Inter-Milan. Maybe the Special One (also gone now) knew something about his condition? Hardly seems likely
His football career is over I have to believe

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

A hearty at that age is a very bad thing poor sod.
