Hopefully he's alright! If there is a positive, apart from having heart problems in a+e , in the middle of a football pitch is probably the best place. Would have been in the care of the pros within minutes

Uefa say he's been transferred to hospital and has been stabilised. Which if true is promising news

There is also a picture going around of him awake on the stretcher but I'm not trusting that. Waiting for official updates

Thanks Mike, as you say, that sounds a bit hopeful. I didn’t see what happened and was trying to work which Danish player was receiving treatment, turns out it was their best outfield player.

The Danish FA have said Eriksen is awake and waiting more tests in hospital.

The picture I mention has appeared on Getty Images so I'm happy it's genuine. He was awake when sat on stretcher.

What an amazing job from the medical team because when they got to him it looked bleak.

That is really positive and unexpected news.

From the brief pictures and then the reaction of the medics and players around him after he collapsed it looked like he had stopped breathing and his eyes were open! Most people watching will have feared the worst.

The speed of reaction and the numbers and skill of medical staff have made the difference. I don't remember when football got its act together with medical cover (at least for major games) but a few decades ago this would have been a very different outcome.

Anxious times ahead for Erikson and his family - but still great news.

Should think his fitness along with medics excellent response may have saved him, shows how fragile life is .
