The Danish Football Union confirmed Eriksen was "conscious and doing well" and in good spirits, with national team doctor Morten Boesen stating he is with his family. Eriksen had previously suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, which led to him being fitted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device to enable him to continue his professional football career. During Sunday's fixture, with Denmark leading 2-1, Eriksen experienced discomfort and briefly lost consciousness, but was seen waving to his teammates as he was taken off the pitch. His medical history includes requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at Parken Stadium during Euro 2020 and having a pacemaker fitted, which necessitated his move from Inter Milan due to Serie A regulations. He later went on to play for Brentford and Manchester United in the Premier League before joining German side Wolfsburg last season.In fullChristian Eriksen - latest: Denmark star expected to leave hospital ‘soon’ after collapseThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
