Christian Eriksen (34, Wolfsburg), the Danish national team midfielder who had previously collapsed due to a cardiac arrest during a match but returned to the field, bringing emotion to the football world, has collapsed again.

On the 8th (Korean time), Eriksen clutched his chest and collapsed alone on the field during the second half of a friendly A-match against Ukraine at Odense Stadium in Denmark.

As soon as Eriksen collapsed, players from both teams gathered around him, and medical staff were urgently deployed. Eriksen, who received emergency treatment, was then transported to a hospital, and the match between the two teams was canceled early as planned.

According to local reports, it was reported that Eriksen fortunately regained consciousness.

The British media outlet The Independent reported, "Eriksen clutched his chest and collapsed on the field, and medical staff were immediately deployed. He has now regained consciousness and is undergoing examination at a hospital." The report added, "This incident occurred five years after Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during a match."

Morten Boesen, the team physician for the Danish national team, also explained, "Fortunately, Eriksen's condition is good, and he left the stadium on his own. It seems the defibrillator functioned properly. (Eriksen) briefly lost consciousness but recovered very quickly. Additional tests will be conducted at the hospital to determine the cause."

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (Marseille), captain of the Danish national team who played alongside Eriksen on the day, added, "I saw Eriksen fall to the ground and knew what it meant. Fortunately, everyone moved quickly. I can only admire the courage of those who cared for Eriksen at the stadium. The most important thing is that Eriksen is okay."

Eriksen, who played alongside Son Heung-min during his time at Tottenham Hotspur, built what was known as the 'DESK LINE' with Harry Kane and Dele Alli, earning great love from domestic fans.

However, in June 2021, he collapsed due to a cardiac arrest during a Group Stage match against Finland at the UEFA European Championship (Euro 2020) held in Copenhagen, Denmark, causing great shock.

Afterwards, he underwent surgery to implant a defibrillator and pursued a return to the field rather than retirement. Eventually, after recovering, he joined Brentford in the English Premier League (EPL), becoming a topic of discussion. He later moved to Manchester United and then to Wolfsburg (Germany), continuing to play on major European stages.

Upon news of Eriksen collapsing during a match, his current club Wolfsburg, as well as his former clubs Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, all issued official statements expressing their wishes for his speedy recovery through their official channels. Eriksen's national team, Denmark, failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America after being eliminated in the European qualifiers' play-offs.
