Overview
- Eriksen went down in the 65th minute of Denmark’s friendly with Ukraine on Sunday and received immediate on-field treatment while players formed a protective ring.
- Denmark team doctor Morten Boesen said Eriksen briefly lost consciousness, regained it quickly, walked off the pitch and was taken to Odense University Hospital for further checks.
- Eriksen posted that his implanted cardioverter‑defibrillator delivered a shock, that he is home with his family and that the device worked as designed.
- The referee officially abandoned the match in the 79th minute with Denmark leading 2-1 after medical staff and team officials agreed play should not resume.
- The episode recalls Eriksen’s 2021 cardiac arrest but officials have not confirmed a repeat cardiac arrest, so the focus now is on hospital tests to identify the cause and next medical steps.
