[p]With 65 minutes gone on the clock in the friendly against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/ukraine/j1JtDMwo/"]Ukraine[/a], Danish international [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/eriksen-christian/nBRuYbqs/"]Christian Eriksen[/a] suddenly collapsed in scenes reminiscent of the EURO 2021 match against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/finland/QuVpPpic/"]Finland[/a].  [/p][p]After 20 long minutes, during which television viewers and spectators waited in anxiety, the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/wolfsburg/nwkTahLL/"]Wolfsburg[/a] player fortunately got back on his feet and, escorted by Danish and Ukrainian national team players, walked to the ambulance waiting to take him to Odense University Hospital.[/p][p]For cardiologist Henning Molgaard, there is no doubt that the pacemaker made the decisive difference for Christian Eriksen.[/p][embed guid="ed012a37-e2b2-4bc8-bacf-017b6897c438" url="https://x.com/433/status/2063695034893938735" social-type="twitter" /][p][b][a href="https://www.bt.dk/fodbold/hjertelaege-om-eriksen-kollaps-det-har-reddet-hans-liv"]“His pacemaker did the job to save his life,[/a]"[/b] says the cardiologist to BT.dk. The cardiologist states that patients with a pacemaker have it for a reason and also states that a scenario like this can happen again.[/p][p][b]"It can definitely happen again. We see this in many completely ordinary people who have a small, discreet heart disease, who go into cardiac arrest again, and then the pacemaker comes into effect. So, regardless of what is behind Christian Eriksen's case, it can happen again."[/b][/p][p]The friendly between [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/denmark/0KUdxQVi/"]Denmark[/a] and Ukraine was called off after the incident.  Christian Eriksen is still being monitored but is expected to leave the hospital today to go on holiday. [/p]
