Denmark doctor Morten Bosen has confirmed Inter Milan midfielder Christian Eriksen, 'suffered cardiac arrest' in his collapse against Finland.
Bosen held a press conference on Sunday together with Denmark football director Peter Møller and the Danish national team coach Kasper Hjulmand.
“We don't have an explanation [for what happened], I didn't see what happened live, I watched on TV like all of you," Bosen said.
When asked how close was Eriksen to dying, the doctor replied: “He was gone, we did CPR and there was a cardiac arrest. How close were we? I don't know, we had him back, it was quite fast.
“I am not a cardiologist, so I can't say why it happened, I'll leave this to the experts.
“That's one of the reasons he's still in the hospital. It is to find out what happened.
“He is awake and answers relevantly and clearly. The heart beats again."
