Denmark’s team doctor Morten Boesen has confirmed Christian Eriksen suffered cardiac arrest and that “he was gone” prior to being resuscitated.

Eriksen collapsed on Saturday during Denmark’s opening Euro 2020 match with Finland before being treated on the pitch and taken to hospital, where his condition has since been described as “stable”.
