Denmark’s Euro 2020 game against Finland was postponed after Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field. The referee immediately blew his whistle and brought proceedings to a halt. Denmark and Finland immediately called for the medical staff who raced onto the pitch to administer treatment. As the medics provided treatment his Danish team-mates formed a shield around him, before white sheets were held up around him to provide privacy. UEFA confirmed the match has been suspended.
Eriksen, the former Tottenham midfielder, was given CPR treatment by medical staff as stunned teammates watched on in tears, with the game called off. Three minutes before the end of the first half, with no players near him, Eriksen fell to the floor as he ran to control the ball, and English referee Anthony Taylor immediately called for assistance. Eriksen appeared to receive heart treatment from medics, with some of his Denmark teammates praying as the Parken Stadium fell silent.
