- Device needed ‘due to rhythm disturbances’ after cardiac arrest
- Midfielder has ‘accepted the solution’, Morten Boesen adds
Christian Eriksen is to be fitted with a heart starter, Denmark’s team doctor has said. The 29-year-old midfielder had to be resuscitated on the pitch at Parken in Copenhagen after collapsing during his side’s 1-0 Euro 2020 Group B defeat by Finland on Saturday evening.
Eriksen regained consciousness before being taken to hospital, where medics continue to work to identify what caused his cardiac arrest.
