Denmark's Christian Eriksen received life-saving cardiac massage treatment on the pitch after collapsing on Saturday in his side's Euro 2020 opening match with Finland but was able to speak before being taken to hospital, team doctor Morten Boesen said.
Eriksen was surrounded by his teammates while being treated on the pitch and then stretchered away. The game was eventually restarted an hour and 45 minutes later after news came through that he had regained consciousness.
"We were called onto the field when Christian collapsed. He was lying on his side when we approached him and there was respiration and pulse," Boesen told a news conference after the game, which Finland won 1-0 with their only goal attempt of the match.
