Denmark footballer Christian Eriksen is doing well after spending the night in hospital following his latest collapse in Sunday's abandoned friendly with Ukraine in Odense.
In scenes similar to 2021, when he had to be resuscitated on the field during a European Championship game, distressed players surrounded him to shield the medical workers. He lost consciousness but could later walk to the ambulance.
The Danish football federation on Monday published an update from team doctor Morten Boesen.
"I spoke to Christian this morning and he is doing well. He is with his family and in good spirits. It is expected that he will be discharged soon and can return home," he said.
As well wishes poured in from across football, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also wrote on Facebook: "My thoughts are with Christian Eriksen ... and all those around him who are affected by this.
