Copenhagen: Christian Eriksen has spoken out for the first time, stating that he is safe and will rest before deciding on his playing future. Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen has spoken out for the first time after collapsing again on Sunday during a friendly match against Ukraine. According to Thai News Agency, this incident is reminiscent of an episode approximately five years ago when Eriksen collapsed on the field while playing for Denmark in the "Euro 2020" match against Finland in 2021. That previous collapse required the implantation of an automated external defibrillator (ICD). The 34-year-old midfielder has reassured fans and well-wishers that he is feeling well and is now recuperating at home with his family. Eriksen mentioned that his current condition differs from that in 2021 as his body is improving, and he has commenced his recovery process. He expressed his gratitude to all the players, the medical team present on the field, and the doctors who have provided care for him over the years. E riksen noted that the automated external defibrillator (AED) worked perfectly during the recent incident. He emphasized his desire to focus on his recovery, spend time with his family, and play football with his children.
