Christian Eriksen is recovering at home after collapsing during Denmark's friendly match against Ukraine. The 34-year-old midfielder was fitted with an ICD device following a similar incident in 2021.
Eriksen collapsed in the 65th minute of the match in Odense on June 7. He regained consciousness on the pitch and was able to walk off the field before being taken to hospital. The game was abandoned. Denmark's national team doctor Morten Boesen said the ICD responded correctly. Eriksen later issued a statement confirming he is doing well and focusing on time with his family. The midfielder, who plays for Wolfsburg, thanked medical staff and noted the situation differed from his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. Former teammate Andros Townsend advised him to consider retirement. Eriksen said his immediate priorities include recovery and playing football with his children.
