The Inter ace suffered cardiac arrest in the first game of his nation's Euro 2020 campaign and was forced to receive emergency pitchside treatment
Referee Anthony Taylor has told for the first time his experience of taking the reins of Denmark vs Finland at Euro 2020, admitting that he knew instantly that Christian Eriksen was in danger following his collapse in the game.
Eriksen fell to the ground uncontested during the first half of the group game, and received emergency treatment on the field before being rushed to hospital.
Thankfully, the Inter midfielder made a full recovery after suffering cardiac arrest, thanks in great part to the quick thinking of his team-mates, medical staff and others involved in the game who ensured he was attended to as soon as possible.
