A former Manchester United player, Christian Eriksen collapsed for the second time during a football match on Sunday during Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine in Odense.
“Christian Eriksen is conscious and doing well under the circumstances,” the Danish football association wrote on social media.
The incident came five years after Eriksen, 34, suffered a cardiac arrest during a European Championship match against Finland.
The association’s statement quoted the national team doctor, Morten Boesen, as saying Eriksen walked off the pitch by himself and that his pacemaker responded appropriately.
“Christian is doing well and walked off the pitch by himself. As I see it, the pacemaker responded as it should.
“He was briefly unconscious but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him.
“He will now undergo further examinations at the hospital to determine what caused the incident. We are in ongoing contact with him and the doctors
