England captain Harry Kane was shocked seeing former Tottenham teammate Christian Eriksen's collapse in action for Denmark on Saturday.

Kane was “numb with shock" after Eriksen's collapse.

Other Three Lions players and boss Gareth Southgate were distressed by TV images of medics battling to save the Danish ace, 29, a dad of two young children.

A source told The Sun: “They're all numb and very upset. You have to appreciate many of them have played with or against Christian. Harry is particularly devastated."

After it was confirmed Eriksen was awake in hospital, a message from Southgate was posted on the England team Twitter feed saying: “We are encouraged by the update from [the Danish FA] this evening.

“On behalf of The English FA, our players and staff, we send our very best wishes to Christian and those close to him.

“We pay tribute to those who went to his aid with such care to give the support he received.

“Our thoughts remain with Christian and his family tonight."
