Denmark’s EURO 2020 meeting with Finland has been suspended due to a medical emergency.
Inter Milan midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed in the closing stages of the first-half and received CPR from medics.
UEFA have released an official statement explaining that “the player has been transferred to the hospital and has been stabilised.”
The thoughts of everyone at Fantasy Football Scout are with Eriksen, his family, his friends and colleagues at this extremely difficult time.
Huge respect for the pitch side doctors
Play up Eriksen!
If anybody is thinking about moaning that they switched captaincy to Eriksen over Lukaku etc.
Don't. Just don't.
Totally agree mate
I am keeping (c) on Eriksen
Football is not fantasy.
Thoughts with.
It looks like Christian is OK if early beINSPORTS images are to go by.
Hope so
Just read that he’s in hospital in a stable condition. Really hope he’s ok
Got a mate who works in reporting and has confirmed the image doing the rounds of him conscious are legit. Great news but I think we ought to avoid speculating too much and hope for some good news to come through official channels
UEFA twitter confirms he has been transferred to hospital and stabilised. Game decision around 7.45
You'd hope common sense prevails and they rearrange it. Even if he's stabilised the players aren't in a position to play football after that ffs
100 percent, its just a game. Postpone.......
I would hope they pick up the match where they left off, ONLY after all the qualifying matches have been played and if it is necessary to play it to decide who advances.

He is conscious, I hope this is good news!
UEFA tweeting he has stabilised now. So relieved to hear that.
YES. 'Ave it.
"The Danish FA says Christian Eriksen is awake and waiting more tests in hospital."
Quick recovery Erik.
Watching the match in hospital while waiting for a heart transplant, so this hit very close to home. Delighted to hear he seems to be stable.
Best of wishes to you. Hope it all goes well.
Hope it goes well man

Try to get MD1 points voided.
Who do you think I am, Mark Sutherns?
All the best !!
Best wishes mate.
Health is one of things we don't really appreciate until its gone.
Best wishes pal !!!
We're with you. Everything will go smoothly.
Looking forward to your first post afterward. Heal up quickly!
Wish you all the best and a speedy recovery mate
All the best for you too
Thanks everyone, really appreciate it.
Good luck, bud.I had a my aortic valve replaced a few years ago - came through Ok and was genuinely life changing. To borrow a phrase - you live in an age of miracles and wonders and long may you continue to do so.
Wish you well mate
Best wishes,i hope everything works out ok for you and Christen.
Wishing you well!!
Best wishes to you, I hope it goes well.
I am a Finn. Waited for my whole life to see our NT in a major international tournament. First covid made us wait an extra year and then this... I don't believe in any supernatural stuff but I almost want to brlieve we are cursed.
My thoughts are 100 % with Eriksen and his family.
All medical staff involved legends, wow filling up ya
So glad that Christian is now stable in hospital, swiftest of swift recoveries to the Danish Prince.
However, the footage that was shown was shocking. If a streaker is on the pitch everything is cut immediately. An incidence like this occurs and camera's are locked on his position even when it's obvious his teammates are trying to block as something very serious occurs. They then cut to his wife/girlfriend... Awful!
Yes I was shocked that they weren’t straight back to the studio.
Yep, couldn't believe it. Especially showing CPR. Every time I've seen something sports related and something bad happens they always cut away. When Grosjeans crash happened last season they didn't show anything until he was confirmed okay. People are getting in trouble for this
I think you've got to cut people a little bit of slack for going through a horrific situation. I personally find it a little distasteful that people are trying to make a villain out of this situation. I sympathise to anyone who had to work through that in any capacity, and I doubt for the life of me there was anyone doing anything other than their best given the circumstances.
Yeah I agree. Think too many people rush to condemn to make themselves look good to be honest.
Well said
I doubt that too. But why keep showing them awful images? Show highlights, show the grass, show nothing, show anything but it.
Entirely agree. Nobody was out to sensationalise there.
I like your sentiment, but there is a director for live TV who simply chose to show the things they showed. It's not a chaotic scene where interns are tripping over wires, struggling to get the images cleared - it's their profession. As Rainer said, it's standard to cut away there is a streaker.
Ultimately, it's the broadcaster's responsibility, even if they are getting the images from somewhere else. I'm okay with people being suspicious of big corporations with questionable motives and incentives. These are established sports broadcasters who clearly have the power to do things right, so there's nothing wrong with holding them to a standard. You might argue it's our moral duty, even.
That said, I'm not personally even necessarily against broadcasting these images, except for the reason that children may be watching. I think consent to being filmed is given by all those in attendance at a filmed event, and it's actually very sobering to watch, putting things into perspective. I think people are more likely to be loving after seeing it than more anti-social, for instance. Perhaps more likely to make positive changes in they day, week or life. The awkward part is the intimacy of someone's unexpected private moments of vulnerability matched with the purpose of enternanment and holding viewership for financial reasons. I could be convinced otherwise though, potentially.
I'm aware that no one asked for this essay! But it's done now. Everyone, be excellent to each other.
Contrast that with what his teammates did to protect his privacy and look out for his family.
Heroes, among many heroes that were in that circle.
Right at the start I thought he was badly injured but had not twigged he was having a cardiac arrest. Many in the production team may have been unaware too. After a while when it had sunk it, they did not keep zooming in. I think they felt a duty to those watching to not just cut and leave them not knowing what was happening. Everyone was concerned and scared for his life. It wasn't paparazzi-style IMO.
Danish TV cut all pictures and zoomed out of the stadium after he dropped down and we saw his eyes.
Any TV station showing Eriksen, his family, medics and players around him for more than 15 secondsis a damn disgrace to human kind.
All making fun comments too. Shame on you.
I’m of two minds about this. I totally understand your take on it, but even through my tears I wanted to see what was going on because I wanted the instant relief if there was a good outcome. I do realize this is selfish on my part, but that is why I had to watch.
Love the Danish and Finnish fans currently singing to each other in the stadium
Puts things in perspective. Get well soon Christian.
"Kampen er midlertidigt udsat. Ny melding kommer kl. 19.45."
This worries me, no update yet... (dr.dk) Hoping and praying he is fine.
The update will be about the football match and Belgiums game, not about Eriksen
Agree
I didn't mean it like that. "Sorry guys, I fainted but I want you to continue and win the game" would be the news and words I would want to hear him having said...
More good news!

Christian Eriksen's manager Martin Schoots telling NPO Radio 1 that he is talking in hospital.
His dad and wife are with him.
Incredible news that makes me so happy. You gave the world an almighty scare Christian.
Yes! Let the news keep getting better.
Thanks God.. Hope he is fine
Wish we hear good news from DO I NOT LIKE ORANGE.
No Denayer
He's been Denayed?
How are / will they rearrange this game at short notice?
Following the request made by players of both teams, UEFA has agreed to restart the match between Denmark and Finland tonight at 20:30 CET (TBC).
Wow, can’t imagine playing on the same day that happened. Why can’t they pick it up at least in a day or two. At least give the players some time to process that emotionally.
Both teams have wanted it.
Wow! Well that’s pretty damned inspiring.
Fair play to them.
Probably lose a wad of cash on TV and other revenue if they tried rearranging for another day. If game rearranged until later, last game in group, it's possible but improbable that a draw could suit both to get to last 16.
Reports that it will be restarted at 8.30 tonight on BBC now
Sorry, resumed not restarted.
Game will continue
Players wanted to continue
Match resuming at half 7.
Players happy to play now Eriksen is stable.
Thank God
Players back on the pitch warming up now
Following the request made by players of both teams, UEFA has agreed to restart the match between Denmark and Finland tonight at 20:30 CET (TBC).
The last four minutes of the first half will be played, there will then be a 5-minute half-time break followed by the second half.
15 mins time
Glad to know Eriksen is fine and stable!!!
Denmark vs Finland to resume at 2030 CET with a 5-mins HT break!
Surprised to hear that given how upset the players were. They are surely not in the right mental state to finish the match today !
We tend to focus on the controversies, scandals and indiscipline because its more entertaining.
But there's so much to learn about discipline amd protocol of the game from what happened today.
1. The referee.
2. The medical workers.
3. The Danish team giving privacy by standing around him.
4. The Finnish team giving him privacy by leaving the pitch.
5. The manager who must have been in agony waited till he was allowed to go see his player.
6. The fans for their silence and then their chants.
We take these things for granted.
Seems like common sense.
Its a one in a million scenario. No one would have prepared the players and referees for this.
But they acted admirably eventhough no one would have blamed the manager for running onto the field or a Finnish player hanging about showing concern.
7. People on here were class, no one cared about fantasy or stu*** posts..
We take a lot for granted. Too busy caught up in the rat race and distracted by technology. Time to reconnect with nature.... and people.... haha
Good to take the positives and enhance them, Emrecan Hustle. Thanks 🙂
Cheers.
It was nice to have this community here. Otherwise I would have been alone at home watching this horrible thing.
Belgium game delayed or still ko at 8?
