‎Christian Eriksen collapsed for the second time during a football match on Sunday during Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine in Odense.

‎“Christian Eriksen is conscious and doing well under the circumstances,” the Danish football association wrote on social media.

‎The incident came five years after Eriksen, 34, suffered a cardiac arrest during a European Championship match against Finland.

‎The association’s statement quoted the national team doctor, Morten Boesen, as saying Eriksen walked off the pitch by himself and that his pacemaker responded appropriately.

‎“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,” Boesen said.
