Footballer Eriksen collapses again during international match
Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch during an international friendly between Denmark national football team and Ukraine national football team, prompting the match to be abandoned.
Verified reports confirm the 34-year-old midfielder went down in the second half and received immediate medical attention from team doctors and emergency staff.
Officials said Eriksen was conscious and stable after the incident and was able to walk off the pitch before being taken to hospital for further evaluation.
The match was called off shortly after the collapse, with players from both teams forming a protective circle around him as medics intervened.
The incident revived memories of Eriksen’s cardiac arrest during the 2021 European Championship, after which he returned to professional football with an implanted heart device.
Danish football authorities said further medical tests are underway to determine the cause, while reassuring fans that the player is “doing well under the circumstances.”
