Christian Eriksen says he’s home and ‘doing well’ after collapsing on field

“I want to let everyone know that I am doing well and that I am home with my family,” he wrote on Instagram. “As you can probably imagine, receiving a shock from my ICD has had a major effect on both me and my family, but I want to assure everyone that this was a different situation from what happened in 2021.”

Eriksen added: “In addition to being grateful for the support and assistance of all the players and the medical team on the field, I am also incredibly grateful to the doctors who have cared for me and my heart over the years,” he wrote. “Thanks to their expertise, my ICD did exactly what it was designed to do: protect me when I needed it.”

Eriksen said his focus now was on “recovering, spending time with my family, going on vacation, and playing football with my children.”

Meanwhile, Denmark coach Brian Riemer praised the “beautiful unity” shown by those at the stadium in Odense.

“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.
“Now he and the players need to have ‌some peace ​to ​process ​the experience, so that everyone can recover ​from the shock. In a ⁠difficult moment, everyone showed a beautiful unity, which I think ‌is ⁠what we should remember about this evening.”
