June 9 : Denmark coach Brian Riemer said he would remember the “beautiful unity” shown by those at the stadium in Odense after midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed in a friendly against Ukraine at the weekend.
Eriksen, who also collapsed during an international match in 2021, caused widespread concern when he clutched his chest and fell in the 65th minute of Sunday’s game.
The 34-year-old playmaker has returned home and said he was recovering well.
“It has been a tough day for all of us, but fortunately Christian is doing well and is back home with his family,” Riemer said on Monday.
