Danish footballer Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field during a game against Ukraine on Sunday.
It was not the first time the 34-year-old footballer had a health scare during a match. In 2021, he suffered a cardiac arrest during the European Championship, which resulted in Eriksen being fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
Since Sunday’s incident, Eriksen has said on social media that he is doing well and is recovering at home with his family.
He thanked the medical personnel who attended to him in the stadium and the doctors who have been monitoring him since 2021.
“Thanks to their expertise, my ICD did exactly what it was designed to do: protect me when I need it,” Eriksen wrote.
