Denmark star Christian Eriksen is in 'stable condition' after collapsing during Euro 2020 game and needing lengthy medical treatment on the side of the pitch as distraught team-mates form protective barrier around stricken former Tottenham star

Denmark star Christian Eriksen has been rushed to hospital after collapsing on the pitch mid-game - as distressing footage shows medics giving him CPR.

The 29-year-old Inter Milan midfielder suddenly fell to the ground near the end of the first half during his side's clash with Finland at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.

Eriksen - a former-Tottenham player - was given CPR by frantic medics who sprinted onto the pitch as his sobbing teammates formed a protective barrier around him.

The player was then carried off the pitch in a stretcher while receiving oxygen shortly after 6pm - as medics held up white sheets to shield him from prying eyes.

Pictures later showed Eriksen sitting up on the stretcher with his eyes open - as UEFA confirmed he 'has been stabilised' in hospital.
