Eriksen sends first public message after suffering cardiac arrest at Euro 2020

 

A message is seen on an Instagram account of Danish footballer Christian Eriksen next to a photograph of him giving a thumbs-up at Rigshospitalet, where he is treated after he collapsed during a UEFA Euro 2020 game on Saturday, in Copenhagen, Denmark, in this screen grab from a social media post published June 15, 2021.

Denmark's Christian Eriksen said he was feeling "fine -- under the circumstances" and expressed gratitude for the flood of messages he had received after he suffered a cardiac arrest during their Euro 2020 opener on Saturday.

His first public comment since the collapse on the pitch came as his team mates were preparing for Denmark's second Group B game against Belgium on Thursday.
