Following the medical emergency involving Denmark’s player Christian Eriksen, a crisis meeting has taken place with both teams and match officials and further information will be communicated at 19:45 CET.
The player has been transferred to the hospital and has been stabilised.
The Danish FA also sent out a tweet saying: “Christian Eriksen is awake and is undergoing further examinations” at the hospital.
Play came to a halt just before half-time as Eriksen, without any players around him, dropped to the ground.
Referee Anthony Taylor immediately blew his whistle and brought proceedings to a halt. Denmark and Finland immediately called for the medical staff, who raced onto the pitch to administer treatment.
His Danish teammates formed a shield around him as the medics provided treatment before white sheets were held up around him to provide privacy.
Eriksen was eventually removed from the ground on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. Goal
