🚨 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘: A further note from Morten Boesen, the Denmark National Team Doctor:
🗣️ Boesen: "Christian is doing well and walked off the pitch by himself. As I see it, the pacemaker responded as it should.
He was briefly unconscious, but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him.
He will now undergo further examinations at the hospital to determine what caused the incident. We are in ongoing contact with him and the doctors at the hospital.
But Christian is doing well, and he asked me to send his regards to all the players and tell them that he was okay."
Denmark's national team doctor Morten Boesen, who was credited with saving Eriksen's life when he collapsed in 2021, provided a further update.

"He was briefly unconscious, but regained consciousness very quickly and we were quickly in contact with him."
"He's an experienced guy that we've always been able to turn to when we need it."
