Christian Eriksen

Christian Eriksen collapsed again during Denmarks friendly with Ukraine. After 65 minutes, Eriksen held his chest before collapsing to the ground. Game was aborted and not restarted.
Apperently Eriksen is now awake and conscious.

Hope for a speedy recovery, again, but I think it's time to hang up the boots now Christian!

Can't remember did he have a defibrillator fitted after the first incident?.

All the best wishes in the world...it must have been so so scary for him. :(

Looks like the pacemaker did its job 🤞🏼

Everytime it goes off like that, the force is huge. My friend had one, he eventually needed a heart transplant. One time, his defib went off 30 times in 60 mins. He said each one felt like a horse kicking him in the chest; FWIW the man is a hero of mine...

It’s amazing what modern medicine can do, I know all too well. Hopefully he’s fine now?
 
Yeah please stop now, it was amazing that he managed to get back and play again, but for his own wellbeing and his family he needs to call it a day now.

He seems tactically aware so perhaps coaching, or a director of footy type route, but either way I think his on pitch days need to come to an end now. Great to hear he’s ok and hope he has a speedy recovery.
 
It's been five years since he basically died, and he's now 34 and is still playing at a pretty high level, which should soften the blow of actually having to retire. Which he should consider now.

It's a shame the whole thing, as he's such a cleverly talented player who I think should've been able to perform for several more years (see Modric), but actually living should count for much more than that...
 
Here here to the well wishes and hopefully he realises it's time to retire.
Gotta listen to what your body is telling you.

Must be a weird feeling though - he's basically a super hero; his heart just stopped and restarted by an internal machine.
That must be an odd feeling - you know retiring is sensible, but equally the risk is probably less than anyone else on the pitch because of the implant, and he's just proved it.
I wonder what the success/failure rate of the device is?
Presumably the more heart attacks you have the more damage is caused, so the risk becomes greater?!
 
Very sad. Presumably the medical people will tell him it’s time to retire and hopefully he will if that’s the case.

Tough though. Having something he loves taken away from him forever in this way is a bit cruel. That said, obviously, there’s a lot more to life.

Lets hope so.

It is cruel but he had a good few more years of playing than anyone would have thought possible five years ago. Time now to sadly call it a day.
Yes something he loves is being taken away from him but then someone his family loves will still be with them.
I am just thankful that he appears to be OK.
