New moments of fear for Christian Eriksen. The Danish player collapsed to the ground after touching his chest during the second half of the friendly match against Ukraine: as reported by the local media, the player is fortunately conscious, while the match was definitively suspended. The scene immediately brought to mind the tragic episode at Euro 2021, when Eriksen collapsed due to cardiac arrest. He has since had a subcutaneous defibrillator implanted. “The player is conscious and is continuing well after the incident,” the Danish federation wrote in a statement.
