An update on former Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen’s condition has been revealed after he collapsed during Denmark’s friendly 2-1 win against Ukraine on Sunday.
Recall that footage showed Eriksen grabbing his chest before collapsing in the 65th minute of the encounter.
The match was later abandoned, and Eriksen was taken to the hospital.
However, the Denmark federation has now provided an update on Eriksen’s condition.
“Christian Eriksen is conscious and is doing well under the circumstances,” the federation said in a statement on X.
Meanwhile, Denmark’s national team doctor, Morten Boesen, who was credited with saving Eriksen’s life when he collapsed in 2021, provided a further update.
“Christian is doing well and walked off the pitch by himself,” he added. “As I see it, the pacemaker responded as it should.
“He was briefly unconscious, but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him.
“He will undergo further examinations at the hospital to determine what caused the incident. We are in ongoing contact with him and the doctors at the hospital.
In 2021, Eriksen collapsed during a European Championship match in Copenhagen against Finland.
He was given life-saving CPR treatment after suffering a cardiac arrest.
