Denmark says soccer star Christian Eriksen 'conscious' after collapsing on
field again in match
ODENSE, Denmark (AP) --- Christian Eriksen is conscious after collapsing on the
field again while playing for Denmark's national team, the country's soccer
federation said Sunday.
TV images showed the 34-year-old Erikson clutching his chest with both hands in
the 65th minute of Denmark's international friendly against Ukraine at Nature
Energy Park in Odense.
In the next TV image shown, Erikson was on the ground, surrounded by players.
The match was later abandoned.
"Christian Eriksen is conscious and, under the circumstances, doing well," the
federation said in a post on X.
"The match is called off."
Eriksen collapsed because of a cardiac arrest during Denmark's opening European
Championship group game in 2021, against Finland in Copenhagen, and was given
lengthy medical treatment before regaining consciousness.
Neither Denmark nor Ukraine have qualified for the World Cup.
