Euro 2021: Christian Eriksen collapsed in the middle of the game and worries about his health

Moments of extreme tension were experienced in the game that Denmark and Finland were playing for the first date of Euro 2021. It's that the Danish Christian Eriksen collapsed in the middle of the game and was revived by the medical staff. He was automatically transferred to a hospital and the match was suspended.

For more than 15 minutes the medical personnel were treating and reviving the Inter Milan player on the field of play. The faces of his teammates and rivals were of utmost concern. Eriksen collapsed and medics revived him to save his life.

It was a very tough resuscitation task, lasting several minutes. And although the Danish Federation hasn't yet issued an official medical report on the situation, it's presumed that the midfielder suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest for causes that will be analyzed.

The concrete thing is that after resuscitating him, both his teammates and rivals raised a white canvas to prevent television cameras and spectators from seeing his departure from the field of play.

But a Getty agency photographer caught the moment he is seen awake and wearing an oxygen mask. That image brought some reassurance to fans around the world, who couldn't believe what they were seeing. However, we still have to wait for the official medical report, either from his team, UEFA or the hospital where he was transferred to know his evolution.

Denmark vs Finland, suspended

UEFA made the decision to suspend the match between the two selected teams for the first date of Group B of the tournament. It is expected that in the next few hours it will issue a statement on the situation.
