Denmark Team Doctor Confirms Christian Eriksen Suffered "Cardiac Arrest"

Denmark's team doctor confirmed that footballer Christian Eriksen had suffered a cardiac arrest.

Denmark's team doctor said Sunday there was still "no explanation" for why midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed during his country's opening Euro 2020 game against Finland, but confirmed he had suffered a cardiac arrest. "He was gone, and we did cardiac resuscitation," team doctor Morten Boesen told a press conference. "How close were we? I don't know. We got him back after one defib (defibrillation), so that's quite fast," Boesen added. However, the physician also said they had yet to discover that cause of the 29-year-old's heart attack. "There's no explanation so far," Boesen said, adding that all tests done so far on the player, who is still in hospital, have come back fine. "That is also one of the reasons that he is still in the hospital," the physician added. The Inter Milan star suddenly collapsed in the 43rd minute of Denmark's Group B game against Finland on Saturday, laying motionless as medical personnel administered CPR.
