Euro 2020: Christian Eriksen's cradiologist during his stint with Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur has said that the Denmark midfielder had no prior heart issues. The 29-year-old suddenly collapsed during his side's match vs Finalnd on Saturday.

Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen, who was hospitalised after collapsing during his side's Euro 2020 opener against Finland on Saturday, had no prior heart issues during his time with Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, his former cardiologist Dr Sanjay Sharma has said. The 29-year-old collapsed in the 42nd minute of the match while running near the left touchline after a Denmark throw-in and was given life-saving cardiac massage treatment on the pitch, with officials later saying that the player was stable and awake. Dr Sharma of St. George's University of London said Eriksen had returned normal tests since 2013, but the sight of the Inter Milan playmaker falling to the ground had briefly raised concerns that doctors had missed something.
