Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed during his side's Euro 2020 clash with Finland and received urgent CPR treatment on the pitch in distressing scenes.

The Inter Milan midfielder collapsed as a throw-in was taken towards him near the end of the first half at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, with medical staff being called onto the pitch immediately.

The medical staff performed regular CPR on Eriksen, with his distraught Denmark team-mates left in tears as the procedures were taking place. The 29-year-old was carried off the pitch in a moving stretcher with oxygen attached to his mouth just after 6pm.

Everyone is in shock and stunned. They should have shut off the live feed sooner.

All the players are so distraught

Thoughts go out to Christian Eriksen and his family

Shocking to see a young fit man needing urgent medical care like this.
Latest news reports he has been stabilised and is awake in hospital.

I was watching the game when this happened... Absolutely shocking scene... He appeared to stagger slightly before falling face down to the ground and just laid there... There was no contact with anyone else to cause this.

The other players who were at his side were immediately seriously concerned for him and waved for medics...

His heart must have stopped because the medics were performing CPR on him for a good few minutes trying to revive him.
