“I’m fine”, Eriksen sends a thumbs-up from hospital bed

It’s a great day for the football family as a whole as Christian Eriksen posted the first picture of himself in hospital since he suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s Euro 2020 clash with Finland on Saturday.

Recall that the Inter skipper, Eriksen collapsed to the ground with no one around him shortly before half-time of the Euro 2020 Group B fixture between the Danes and Finland in Copenhagen. Team-mates formed a protective shield around Eriksen as medical personnel rushed to resuscitate him, and the match was suspended.

The  29-year old midfielder said: ‘Hello everyone. Big thanks for your sweet and amazing greetings and messages from all around the world. It means a lot to me and my family.

‘I’m fine under the circumstances. I still have to go through some examinations at the hospital, but I feel okay.

‘Now, I will cheer on the boys on the Denmark team in the next matches. Play for all of Denmark. Best, Christian’. He said.
