Eriksen's second collapse on the field of play, Denmark's doctor

Christian Eriksen has recalled the horrific scenes from Euro 2020 today, when he suffered a concussion during the activity. This time, the incident occurred in the friendly match between Denmark and Ukraine, in the second half of which the footballer fell unconscious on the pitch.

He was helped by medical staff and then was mentioned and got into the ambulance himself to go to the hospital. The match was abandoned with understanding by the teams and fans present, while afterwards, the Danish team doctor, Morton Boesen, issued a statement about the situation.

"Kristian is fine and walked off the field with his feet. As I see it, the defibrillator in his heart worked properly."

He was unconscious for a short period of time, but was revived very quickly and we were immediately in contact with him.

"He will undergo further tests in hospital now to determine what caused this incident. We are in constant contact with him and the doctors at the hospital. But Kristian is fine and asked me to greet all the players and tell them he was okay," said the doctor of the Danish representative.
