The football world was plunged into a state of shock on Sunday as Christian Eriksen appeared to collapse during Denmark’s friendly encounter with Ukraine. Fans and players alike feared the worst as the 34-year-old midfielder, who famously suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, was forced to leave the pitch amid distressing scenes in Odense.
Almost exactly five years after his collapse at the European Championship, Christian Eriksen has collapsed again. The football association is quick to announce that he is doing well; it seems the implanted defibrillator is working as hoped.
Viktor Gyokeres was the hero for Sweden on Thursday night as the Arsenal forward's clinical hat-trick secured a 3-1 victory over Ukraine. The result keeps Sweden's dreams of reaching the 2026 World Cup alive, setting up a winner-takes-all play-off showdown with Poland.
