Football’s most haunting memory just resurfaced. Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine on Sunday was abandoned after midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch — the same player who suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 and had to have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) inserted to electronically restart his heart. The world watched in stunned silence, again. cbssports

The Moment That Stopped the Game
Eriksen appeared to put his hand on his chest before collapsing. He was able to walk onto the ambulance under his own power to receive further medical care. Mercifully, the outcome was not the worst — but it was terrifying nonetheless.
The Danish FA confirmed in a statement: “Christian Eriksen is conscious and doing well under the circumstances. The match has been called off.”
The national team doctor Morten Boesen then offered crucial reassurance. Boesen confirmed the pacemaker responded as it should, that Eriksen was briefly unconscious but regained consciousness quickly, and that the player himself asked for his regards to be passed on to teammates, saying he was okay.
A Hero Who Came Back Once Before
Christian Eriksen is one of football’s most remarkable comeback stories. After his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, he was revived on the pitch and went on to rebuild his career at Brentford before moving to Manchester United and later Wolfsburg. Due to the ICD device, Eriksen was initially unable to continue playing at Inter Milan, leading to his return to football with Brentford in the Premier League after over a year away from the sport.
He spent the past season with Wolfsburg as Denmark narrowly missed qualifying for the World Cup. cbssports
