Christian Eriksen collapsed and received CPR on the pitch as Denmark’s opening Euro 2020 match against Finland was suspended just before half-time.
Inter Milan player Eriksen, 29, dropped to the ground at the Parken Stadium shortly before half-time, leaving players from both teams in clear distress.
English referee Anthony Taylor called medics on to the pitch and Eriksen underwent prolonged treatment.
A tweet from UEFA confirmed the Group B match had been suspended due to a medical emergency.
Team-mates formed a shield around the former Tottenham man, while fans inside the stadium were clearly stunned by the incident, with some pictured in tears.
Official statement from Denmark also says, “Christian Eriksen is AWAKE and is undergoing further examinations at Rigshospitalet”.
