Monday, June 8Monday, June 8Christian Eriksen confirms he's doing well after latest on-pitch collapse
Christian Eriksen has spoken for the first time since collapsing during Denmark’s Euro 2026 warm-up match against Ukraine on Sunday, confirming he is “doing well” and thanking fans for their support. The 34-year-old Wolfsburg midfielder posted a brief update on social media Monday evening, hours after being discharged from hospital in Odense following emergency treatment. “I’m home with my family and I’m feeling good,” Eriksen wrote . His message echoed statements from team doctors who had earlier told reporters that Eriksen was conscious, stable, and in no immediate danger.
The incident forced the abandonment of the match at the 32nd minute in Odense’s Fionia Park, marking the second time in five years that Eriksen has collapsed on the pitch. In 2021, he suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener, an episode that led to the implantation of an internal defibrillator. Team physician Morten Boesen told Danish media that this latest episode felt “different” from 2021, though he did not specify the cause . Finnish cardiologist Juhani Junttila, consulted by Finnish broadcaster Yle, suggested two possible explanations: a benign arrhythmia or a more serious cardiac event, though he stressed that without further details, both remain speculative .
Eriksen’s own account underlined the emotional toll of the episode. “This was different from 2021,” he told Belgian outlet Het Nieuwsblad . He described being “protected by the defibrillator” and said his immediate priority is recovery and spending time with his children. Italian newspaper *La Repubblica* quoted him as saying, “Now it’s time to heal” .
The Danish Football Union has not yet announced whether Eriksen will play in the team’s next match, a Euro 2026 group-stage fixture against Belgium on Friday. Team manager Kasper Hjulmand said the squad is focused on supporting Eriksen and awaiting further medical guidance. “We’re relieved he’s doing well,” Hjulmand told DR Sport. “Our thoughts are with him and his family.”
Eriksen’s return to action remains uncertain, but his public reassurance has eased immediate concerns. For now, the focus is on his health—and the question of whether football’s resilient Dane will step back onto the pitch once more.
