Eriksen is stable, sent greetings to teammates: Danish Federation

The rest of the Danish team is being given crisis management assistance as they process the incident   that   happened   during   Saturday’s   game   against   Finland   in   Copenhagen.   Eriksen   fell   face-forward  to  the  ground  late  in  the  first  half  and  needed  CPR  from  medical  staff  before  regaining consciousness.

“This morning, we have spoken to Christian, who  has  sent  his  greetings  to  his  teammates,”  the Danish federation wrote on Twitter on Sun-day. “His condition is stable, and he continues to be  hospitalised  for  further  examination.

The  players and staff will continue to be there for each other after the incident.” The  Group  B  match  was  suspended  for  about  90  minutes  after  Eriksen’s  collapse.  It  eventually  resumed  and  Finland   won   1-0.   The   29-year-old   Eriksen  is  being  treated  at  Rigshospitalet,  which  is  less  than  a  mile  away   from   the   Parken   Stadium,   where the fixture was played.
