Denmark vs Finland LIVE: Christian Eriksen ‘was gone’ before medical intervention, team doctor reveals

The scenes of Christian Eriksen were very reminiscent of Fabrice Muamba’s on field collapse while playing for Bolton Wanderers in 2012.

He suffered a cardiac arrest but thankfully recovered although never played again.

All our thoughts are with Christian Eriksen’s family and teammates and we hope he pulls through.

There is no new information about Christian Eriksen’s condition but the game has been suspended because of the medical emergency.

The Finland players have left the pitch and headed into the changing room area. The medical staff are still working on Christian Eriksen. Sheets are being held up around the player as they continue their work.

The stadium is in total shock. Some of the Danish players are in tears. There’s no word yet on Eriksen’s condition. The television camera’s are avoiding that area of the pitch.

47 mins: The medical staff are treating Christian Eriksen. It appears as though they are performing CPR. There are a lot of worried looks from the Danish players. This isn’t good.

43 mins: What’s gone on here? Christian Eriksen is down and the stretcher has been called for immediately by referee Anthony Taylor. Eriksen seemed to just faint as a throw in came his way. There was no-one else around him and this looks bad.

40 mins: Delaney has repeatedly found little pockets of space over on the inside left. He passes the ball into the front edge of the box where Wind lays the ball off to Martin Braithwaite. He rolls the ball onto his right foot and strikes one at goal only to fire it side of the far post.

36 mins: Jonas Wind has a go at goal as he gets the ball in the box but his effort is blocked. The ball comes out to Christian Eriksen who then whips a nice cross in but Finland clear that as well.

33 mins: Finland are in the wars at the minute. Denmark win a corner that Christian Eriksen swings into the box. Daniel O’Shaughnessy is first to the ball but it strikes him square in the face. He stays down as his nose begins to bleed and he needs a bit of treatment.

30 mins: Joakim Maehle flicks a neat ball into the right side of the box for Denmark as Yussuf Poulsen makes a run towards the back post. Jere Uronen tracks the ball whilst holding off Poulsen. Hradecky comes off his line and clatters into his own defender as the ball arrives. Poulsen runs out of play and Uronen stays down after being winded by his own keeper.
