Danish soccer player Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in a match against Ukraine on Sunday, but was conscious, public broadcaster DR reported.
Players from both teams surrounded Eriksen, who could walk himself to the ambulance. He is in a good condition “under the circumstances,” DR reported.
This is not the first time Eriksen collapsed on the pitch during a match. He collapsed during a Denmark-Finland match in Copenhagen on June 12, 2021 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
“Suddenly, we just see Christian Eriksen fall on the grass,” said TVA Live’s radio commentator Mads Thyrested to DR.
“He is ok,” said the Danish national soccer team’s medical doctor Morten Boesen, in a statement released by the Danish national team. Boesen also said that Eriksen’s pacemaker, implanted after his 2021 collapse, would be analyzed.
This is a developing story.
