The ICD allowed Eriksen to resume his playing career with Brentford in 2022 – eight months after his collapse at the Euros – before he spent three years with Manchester United.<\/p>\n
After joining Wolfsburg last summer, he played 34 games for the German Bundesliga club during the 2025-26 season and was making his 151st international appearance for Denmark when he collapsed.<\/p>\n
“We are in ongoing contact with him and the doctors at the hospital,” Boesen added.<\/p>\n
“But Christian is doing well, and he asked me to send his regards to all the players and tell them that he was OK.”<\/p>\n
Denmark captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, also an ex-Tottenham midfieder, told Danish broadcaster TV2: “There’s a throw-in, and then I go out to the side. I turn around a bit, and I see Christian on his way to the floor, and we know a little about how he reacts, what that means.<\/p>\n
“(Everyone) reacted super-fast and with respect. I can only compliment how much courage those who took care of Christian on the field had.<\/p>\n
“I can’t say much more than that you get a shock, and that the most important thing is that Christian is doing well.”<\/p>\n
When Eriksen was receiving treatment five years ago, Denmark and Finland players formed a ring around him, and both sets of players did the same while he was being attended to by medics on Sunday. He was eventually able to walk to an ambulance.<\/p>\n
After the game had been called off, players and coaching staff from both teams stood arm in arm in a ring as they were addressed by Denmark coach Brian Riemer.<\/p>\n
“The most important thing is that Christian is doing well and he is,” Riemer said later. “He has left the field, and he has sent his regards to the players.<\/p>\n
“Now it’s about us standing together, as you could see that we did in the most dignified way on the field, and of course ensuring that everyone has a shoulder to lean on from here.”<\/p>\n
Neither Denmark or Ukraine qualified for the World Cup, which begins on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
