Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch, taken to hospital

Once again, Danish international Christian Eriksen collapsed during an international match. The match against Ukraine was stopped and will not be completed.

Eriksen received treatment on the pitch and was able to get up on his own. He then walked to the waiting ambulance, surrounded by a group of Danish and Ukrainian players.

The incident occurred after 65 minutes of play in Odense.

"This is the second time it's happened and it's absolutely terrible," says TV expert Nicklas Bendtner to Danish TV2.

During Euro 2021, Eriksen collapsed during the match against Finland. After that incident, he had a defibrillator implanted.

"The pacemaker worked as it should. He briefly lost consciousness but very quickly regained it and we quickly got in touch with him," says national team doctor Morten Boesen, according to the Danish Football Association.
