A smiling Christian Eriksen has insisted he is “fine – under the circumstances” as doctors work to determine the cause of his cardiac arrest.
The 29-year-old Denmark midfielder continues to undergo tests in hospital after collapsing on the pitch during Saturday’s game against Finland at Parken in Copenhagen.
On Tuesday he posted on Instagram a photograph of himself making a thumbs-up gesture. The image was accompanied by a message to his 3.2m followers which read: “Big thanks for your sweet and amazing greetings and messages from all around the world. It means a lot to me and my family.
“I’m fine – under the circumstances. I still have to go through some examinations at the hospital, but I feel OK. Now, I will cheer on the boys on the Denmark team in the next matches. Play for all of Denmark. Best, Christian.”
Eriksen fell to the ground during the first half of the Group B game as he prepared to receive a throw-in. The team doctor Morten Boesen later confirmed Eriksen had suffered a cardiac arrest and “was gone”.
Denmark are due to return to action at the same venue on Thursday evening, when they face Belgium.
