Christian Eriksen collapses again during Denmark friendly with match called off

Christian Eriksen is conscious after collapsing again while playing during Denmark’s friendly with Ukraine.

Eriksen clutched his chest and fell to the ground in the 79th minute before medical personnel rushed to the midfielder’s aid.

The match, which Denmark were leading 2-1, has now been abandoned.

“Christian Eriksen is conscious and doing well under the circumstances,” Denmark confirmed on its official X account.

It comes five years after Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 during a group stage match against Finland, when his heart stopped for roughly five minutes.
