Christian Eriksen suffered another collapse on the pitch on Sunday afternoon, but fortunately the Dane was able to walk off the pitch with his team-mates after the match was called off.
The 34-year-old clutched his chest and fell to the ground in the second half of Denmark’s friendly match against Ukraine in Odense.
Players from both teams immediately gathered around him while paramedics rushed to treat him.
Denmark’s national team doctor, Morten Boysen, confirmed that Eriksen was unconscious for a short period but quickly regained consciousness.
The Danish Football Association subsequently issued a statement confirming that the player was “aware and working well under these circumstances.” He was taken to the hospital for further tests.
Eriksen received treatment on the pitch for approximately 13 minutes before returning to his feet, whereupon the crowd inside the Natural Energy Park gave him a standing ovation.
Norwegian referee Sigurd Smehus Kringstad canceled the match in the 79th minute. Denmark was leading 2-1 at the time, and Manchester United’s Patrick Dorjo scored a wonderful goal to open the scoring.

Greece 0-1 Italy: The Azzurri show what could have been

The Azzurri striker controlled the ball and hit the post in the 18th minute to give Italy the lead they would never give up.
Italy is absent World Cup 2026Which gives the team a little leverage in the summer other than new coach Silvio Baldini to try to rebuild the Azzurri from the ground up.
Morocco 1-1 Norway: Odegaard’s equalizer is not enough
This was a great watch before a potential World Cup encounter this summer.
Brahim Diaz opened the scoring after eight minutes, firing a powerful shot past the Norwegian goalkeeper after an assist from Abdel Azzouli, to give Morocco the early lead their pressing deserved.
They looked on the better side for long periods. The Atlas Lions arrive at this tournament having won four of their last five matches, including a 4-0 thrashing of Madagascar last Monday.
But Norway refused to back down. Martin Odegaard equalized in the 75th minute, giving his team a deserved share of the spoils.
Morocco faces Brazil, Scotland and Haiti in Group C. Norway faces Iraq, Senegal and France in the first group.
