Last night was one of the scariest moments of my life. My thoughts are with Christian, his wife, kids and family. I’m grateful that he’s stable and alive. Right now, that’s all that matters. Hope to see you soon my friend ❤️ pic.twitter.com/YA7HsRI0Eg

Meanwhile, Denmark team doctor Morten Boesen has offered some insight into what happend when Eriksen collapsed on the pitch.
“He was gone. We did cardiac resuscitation, it was a cardiac arrest,” he said.
“How close were we to losing him? I don’t know, but we got him back after one defib [defibrillation] so that’s quite fast.
“The examinations that have been done so far look fine. We don’t have an explanation to why it happened.”

Let’s hope Eriksen continues to improve and makes a swift and full recovery.
