    A Reuters colleague saw Eriksen raise his hand as the stretcher was rolled off the field. We live in hope.

    Christian Eriksen discharged from hospital after collapse

    Christian Eriksen discharged from hospital after collapse

    Christian Eriksen has been discharged from hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s Euro 2020 match against Finland on Saturday.

    The Denmark midfielder collapsed during the game and had to be resuscitated on the pitch. Eriksen regained consciousness before being taken to hospital, where medics continue to work to identify what caused his cardiac arrest.

    On Thursday it was announced that Eriksen, 29, was to be fitted with a heart starter and he has now been discharged from the Rigshospitalet hospital in Denmark.

    “Eriksen has been through a successful operation and was today discharged,” a statement from the Danish FA said on Friday.

    Eriksen had a device fitted to help treat abnormal heart rhythms — otherwise known as a heart starter.

    Thin wires connect the device, placed under the skin just below the collar bone, to the heart and monitor your heart rate through electrodes.

    The device is similar to a pacemaker but used to restart the heart if it goes into a rhythm that cannot ensure contraction of the ventricle.
