Eriksen ‘sends greetings to teammates’ following collapse during Euro 2020 match

Christian Eriksen is in a stable condition and has “sent his greetings to his teammates” from the hospital, where he remains under examination following his collapse during Denmark’s opening Euro 2020 match on Saturday.

In a statement on Twitter, the Danish FA said the 29-year-old had been in contact with the squad on Sunday, as he continues to recover from the incident in Copenhagen.

“This morning we have spoken to Christian Eriksen, who has sent his greetings to his teammates,” it said. “His condition is stable and he continues to be hospitalised for further examination.”

Denmark’s players and staff have “received crisis assistance and will continue to be there for each other after yesterday’s incident”, the statement added, with some of Eriksen’s teammates having been reduced to tears as they formed a wall around him to shield him from the cameras while he received treatment on the pitch.

“We would like to thank everyone for the heartfelt greetings to Christian Eriksen from fans, players, the Royal Families from both Denmark and England international associations, clubs etc,” the statement said.

“We encourage everyone to send their greetings to the Danish FA, where we will make sure they are all passed on to Christian and his family.”
