<\/p>\nDenmark\u2019s Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in a match vs Ukraine on Sunday, leading to match getting called off. However, the playmaker was conscious, the Danish Football Federation said in \u200ba social \u200bmedia post. \u201cChristian \u2060Eriksen is conscious and is doing \u200cwell under the circumstances,\u201d the federation said in a statement on X. Neither Denmark nor Ukraine have qualified for the World Cup.<\/p>\n
TV images showed the 34-year-old Erikson clutching his chest with both hands in the 65th minute of Denmark\u2019s international friendly against Ukraine at Nature Energy Park in Odense. In the next TV image shown, Erikson was on the ground, surrounded by players.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristian is doing well and walked off the pitch by himself. As I see it, the pacemaker responded as it should. He was briefly unconscious, but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him. He will now undergo further examinations at the hospital to determine what caused the incident,\u201d said Denmark team doctor Morten Boesen as per BBC.<\/p>\n

The incident brought back horrible memories from 2021 when Eriksen had collapsed \u2060during a \u200cEuro 2020 match vs Finland in Copenhagen \u200cand was given life-saving CPR \u200ctreatment.<\/p>\n
\nI hope he considers retirement after this incident, so sad man\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f pic.twitter.com\/hcypvjPJjY<\/p>\n

His collapse, which came in the 43rd minute of the match against Finland, led to the game being suspended for about 90 minutes before both teams made the decision to play on. Finland went on to win 1-0 after Joel Pohjanpalo scored in the 60th minute and goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky later saved a penalty. But in the end, the result seemed merely an afterthought.<\/p>\n
Eriksen was \u200blater \u200bfitted \u200bwith a special heart-starting device \u200bknown as an Implantable \u2060Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD).<\/p>\n
\nIn 2025, Eriksen left Manchester United and was transferred to German club Wolfsburg after the midfielder became a free agent when his United contract expired. Eriksen has made 310 appearances in the Premier League. He was at Tottenham between 2013 and 2020. He\u2019s also played for Ajax, Brentford and Inter Milan. He has scored 46 goals in 151 international appearances.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
