Player collapses in Euro 2021

Anyone watching right now Den/Fin? A player collapsed and he looks dead. They're trying to revive him right now. This is insane

It's Christian Eriksen.

He just fell over. Totally collapsed out cold. This is horrific

Hope he was okay but from the video I saw he looked sluggish and dehydrated before he fell.
He still tried to make a play too

beINSports on Twitter saying UEFA is saying he's alive and stable in the hospital. Hope that's true. That's excellent news considering what we saw live

They just showed a picture of him on the broadcast as he's being carried out, his eyes are open and he has his hand on his head. So apparently and thankfully, the CPR and chest shocks were able to revive him there on the field.

Watching it live, he was completely out and in dire circumstances. You could see them massaging his neck and chest area trying to get him to breath and then they moved on to chest compressions and shocks. No idea why the live feed kept showing that because that was so scary and inappropriate to show.

Here's a similar pic that they just showed


Also, some incredible quick thinking by Danish captain Simon Kjaer. They're saying he checked to make sure Eriksen hadn't swallowed his tongue and then moved him safely into the prone position until the med staff could reach them.

Wow.

Eriksen spoke with his team from the hospital and now they've resumed the match. Incredible.

It was obvious right away he'd had a clanger. His eyes were open but the lights were out.

Todays match will do a tribute to him at the 10 minute mark

 

[redseat]

He has been RELEASED from hospital

Sounds like he had an ICD fitted to his heart. I was assuming he'd never be able to play again but apparently Daley Blind (one of the Dutch players) has a similar device so maybe he can.

It sounds like he was very dehydrated to me. Probably an electrolyte imbalance as well. What was the air temperature when the game was played?
