Christian Eriksen collapsed for the second time during a football match on Sunday while playing for Denmark against Ukraine in a friendly game in Odense.
Christian Eriksen is awake and doing well after collapsing on the field again while playing for Denmark, according to the country’s football federation.
TV pictures showed the 34-year-old holding his chest with both hands in the 65th minute of the match at Nature Energy Park in Odense. Moments later, he was seen lying on the ground with players gathered around him.
The match was later stopped and abandoned.
“Christian Eriksen is conscious and, under the circumstances, doing well,” the federation said in a post on X.
