Danish soccer star Eriksen's condition stable after on-field collapse

Danish soccer star Christian Eriksen was awake and in stable condition at a Copenhagen hospital after collapsing on the field during a European Championship match between Denmark and Finland on Saturday, Danish soccer's governing body announced Saturday night via Twitter. In another statement Sunday morning, the Danish federation said "we have spoken to Christian Eriksen, who has sent his greetings to his teammates … he continues to be hospitalized for further examination." Eriksen was not involved in a collision with another player or the ball before he collapsed, and he received CPR while on the ground before being taken off the field on a stretcher. It has been revealed that Eriksen was awake as he was transferred to the hospital. The Denmark-Finland contest was suspended after the frightening incident, but eventually resumed later on Saturday once information on Eriksen's condition became available.
