Eriksen went into cardiac arrest on the field during a game at Euro 2020, team officials said, but was well enough Sunday to speak to his coach.<\/b>
\nDenmark\u2019s team doctor said Christian Eriksen went into cardiac arrest during a game at Euro 2020 on Saturday and that \u201che was gone\u201d before lifesaving treatment on the field resuscitated him. The doctor, Morten Boesen, led the work in giving Eriksen cardiopulmonary resuscitation after he collapsed during Denmark\u2019s European Championship game against Finland. \u201cHe was gone. And we did cardiac resuscitation. And it was cardiac arrest,\u201d Boesen said in a videoconference with reporters. \u201cHow close were we? I don\u2019t know. We got him back after one defib. That\u2019s quite fast.\u201d It remained unclear what caused Eriksen to collapse just before halftime, and Boesen, noting he is not a cardiologist, declined to speculate in any way. Eriksen remains in a Copenhagen hospital in stable condition, but Denmark\u2019s coach, Kasper Hjulmand, said he had spoken to Eriksen on a video chat. It was, the coach said, \u201cgood to see him smile.\u201d \u201cHe said, \u2018I don\u2019t remember much but I\u2019m more concerned about you guys; how are you doing?\u2019\u201d Hjulmand said. \u201cThat\u2019s typical Christian.\u201d<\/p>\n
