Christian Eriksen Collapses During Denmark Friendly, Confirmed Conscious After On-Pitch Scare
Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed during a friendly match against Ukraine but has been confirmed conscious and walked off the pitch. The incident, reminiscent of his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, occurred five years after he was fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).
Officials and teammates quickly responded, and Eriksen is now undergoing further medical examinations, though the national team doctor confirmed his ICD functioned as expected. The match was abandoned, with Eriksen sending his regards to his teammates.
