The latest developments in the health of the Denmark player





The injury of the Denmark player occupied the sports and media circles, amid global monitoring to find out his health condition and what happened with him in particular, and made him suddenly fall motionless in the field, which prompted the paramedics to rush to help him.



International media confirmed that the Danish player, Christian Eriksen, is currently in a “stable” condition in hospital after collapsing on the field during a match in the European Championship 2020, and is awaiting some medical examinations.


The Denmark midfielder, 29-year-old Inter Milan, suddenly fell to the ground near the end of the first half during his team's match with Finland at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.


Eriksen, a former Tottenham player, was given CPR by doctors who took to the field as his team-mates cried as they wrapped around him.


As a result of the injury, the match was quickly suspended - but UEFA announced a few hours later that it would resume "at the request of the players of both teams".


The Danish Football Association has already confirmed that his star is "awake" and awaiting further tests in hospital, with his agent Martin Schuts telling a Danish radio station: "He is breathing and can speak," noting that he is out of danger.


It is also understood that Eriksen spoke to his teammates from his hospital bed to reassure them of his condition.


Remarkably, the match kicked off again around 7.30pm UK time following confirmation from UEFA - in a move some fans described as 'greedy'.


In a related context, the BBC apologized after complaints about its continued broadcasting, as Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen received cardiopulmonary resuscitation from emergency paramedics during his country's match in the European Championship 2020 in Copenhagen.


The announcer said: “We apologize to everyone who was disturbed by the images that were broadcast. Coverage within the stadium is controlled by UEFA as the host, and once the match has been suspended, we have canceled our coverage as quickly as possible.”


While Eriksen's teammates in Denmark formed a circle around the player when he appeared to be receiving CPR, the BBC continued to broadcast the distressing scene while the player's wife was shown on the sidelines.


BBC analyst Ian Wright was among those who expressed shock that the presenter held the shots in the field for so long before finally deciding to return to the studio.


Gary Lineker added to the BBC's statement: "Everyone at the BBC is hopeful that Christian will of course make a full recovery and we apologize to anyone who is outraged by the images that have been broadcast."


"UEFA controls coverage of the stadium as the host media and once the match was suspended, we canceled our coverage as quickly as possible," he concluded.
