Christian Eriksen suffered cardiac arrest — doctor: ‘He was gone… we got him back’


What has been said?

“We got him back after one defib,” Boesen said. “That’s quite fast. How close were we? I don’t know.”

On Sunday, Denmark head coach Kasper Hjulmand said Eriksen told him: “I don’t remember much but I’m more concerned about you guys — how are you doing?”

Hjulmand added: ”That’s typical Christian. It was good to see him smile.”

What happened?

Eriksen went down in the 43rd minute of the Euro 2020 match between Denmark and Finland. It quickly became clear the situation was serious and the game was suspended for over 90 minutes while the 29-year-old was assessed and treated.

After being treated by medics on the pitch, Eriksen was then transferred to a Copenhagen hospital where he was “stabilised”. The match was then cleared to resume.

Having been goalless before the stoppage, the game finished 1-0 to Finland with Joel Pohjanpalo heading home to give the Fins their first win at a major tournament on their debut.
