Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen collapses on pitch during international friendly

• Match against Ukraine abandoned after incident

• Danish FA say Eriksen ‘conscious’ after treatment

Denmark’s former Manchester United and Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in a match against Ukraine on Sunday, but was conscious as he was taken from the field by medics.

The incident happened during what was an end-of-season friendly between two sides who have not qualified for the World Cup. Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest during a European Championship match in 2021, was quickly tended to by medics in Odense, while the referee abandoned the match early.
