Thankfully, he is recovering well, but what exactly happened to Eriksen?<\/strong> Read on to know more.<\/p>\n

During Denmark\u2019s Euro 2020 opening match against Finland at Parken Stadium on June 12, 2021, Christian Eriksen suddenly collapsed, after a cardiac arrest<\/a>. According to media reports, the doctors are still uncertain as to how close they were to losing him. But what matters is, they got him back with defibrillation, which is way faster than expected.<\/p>\n

Why this happened, still remains a mystery. Given that Eriksen has had minimal injuries in his entire professional career. In fact, he has treated us to some glorious performances for Ajax, Tottenham, and Inter. The game was in its 42nd<\/sup> minute, when Eriksen suddenly stumbled and collapsed on the ground, lying motionless. Needless to say, this prompted immediate action.<\/p>\n

It was quite heartening to see how the Danish players of Euro football 2020<\/a> formed a shield around him, while the medical team carried out CPR and tried to resuscitate him with a defibrillator.<\/p>\n

About an hour after this incident at Euro Cup 2020, there was official confirmation of Eriksen\u2019s condition stabilishing. The match between Denmark and Finland came to a halt for approximately 90 minutes. Eventually, the encounter came to an end with the Finns emerging with a 1-0 victory.<\/p>\n

Post this incident at the UEFA Euro 2020<\/a>, whether Christian Eriksen will be able to play competitive football again, is a question that football enthusiasts all across the world are grappling with. Having suffered from a cardiac emergency, he was fitted with a heart-starting device known as an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Patients of cardiac attack suffer from rhythmic disturbances, which makes this device highly crucial.<\/p>\n

Specialists, both nationally and internationally, have recommended the same treatment, and Christian Eriksen has accepted it.<\/p>\n
