Christian Eriksen has taken to Instagram to address the public for the first time since suffering a cardiac arrest in Denmark’s opening Euro 2020 fixture against Finland.
The football world was left in a state of shock when Eriksen fell to the turf and was treated with CPR on the field of play. We all held our breath, desperately hoping that the Inter Milan star would pull through.
Thankfully, he did, with Eriksen pictured awake and receiving oxygen while being stretchered off the field, a clear indicator that the 29-year-old was going to escape this tragic incident with his life.
