In Denmark – a feeling of deja vu. An event that shocked the football world 5 years ago almost repeated itself.

During the friendly match between Denmark and Ukraine, halfway through the second half, Christian Eriksen collapsed again – similarly to 5 years ago.

C. Eriksen felt chest pains and fell to the ground.

Soon the match was halted, and an ambulance entered the pitch. The player's family was nearby.

However, the situation was not as critical as it was five years ago. Eriksen was able to stand up on his own after receiving the necessary assistance, and the match was ultimately abandoned, with the player being taken to the nearest hospital in Odense.
