Peter Schmeichel, the former Danish goalkeeper, has criticised the decision to resume the Finland-Denmark game last night as "ridiculous" after Christian Eriksen's collapse in the first half. 

"It's a ridiculous decision by Uefa. They should have tried to work out a different scenario and shown a little bit of compassion, and they didn't," said the former Danish shot-stopper.
