Christian Eriksen, Medics Who Resuscitated Him Invited to Euro Final by UEFA

Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen and the medics that resuscitated him on the field last month have been invited as VIP guests of UEFA to the Euro 2020 final on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.

Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed on the field in the 43rd minute of Denmark's group stage loss to Finland on June 12 in Copenhagen. Referee Anthony Taylor immediately stopped the match and called to the bench for the medics. The Denmark team doctor said Eriksen "was gone" until he was revived by the medical staff after one attempt at defibrillation.

UEFA confirmed that Eriksen, his wife and the six medics have been invited to the London final, but have yet to confirm their attendance.
