Braithwaite ‘still feeling emotional’ after Eriksen collapse

Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite spoke at a news conference on Monday and discussed about how he was feeling after Denmark team-mate Christian Eriksen’s collapse at the weekend.

Eriksen had to be resuscitated on the pitch and was then taken to hospital where he said to be in a stable condition. The Denmark team surrounded Eriksen while he was having treatment to provide a protective wall for privacy.

Braithwaite said seeing and talking to Eriksen while he’s been in hospital has helped him cope with the traumatic events but that he’s still feeling emotional.

“I am still emotional about the situation,” he said.
