The 34-year-old midfielder collapsed in the 65th minute of the friendly game, but Eriksen - who was fitted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator device in 2021, after suffering a cardiac arrest - has now taken to social media to confirm that he's on the road to recovery.

In a lengthy post on Instagram, Eriksen wrote: "I want to let everyone know that I am doing well and that I am home with my family.

"As you can probably imagine, receiving a shock from my ICD has had a major impact on both me and my family, but I want to reassure everyone that this was a different situation from what happened in 2021.

"I am feeling good, and my recovery has already started.

"In addition to being grateful for the support and assistance of all the players and the medical team on the field, I am also incredibly grateful to the doctors who have cared for me and my heart over the years.

"Thanks to their expertise, my ICD did exactly what it was designed to do: protect me when I needed it.

"For now, my focus is on recovering, spending time with my family, going on vacation, and playing football with my children."

Denmark team doctor Morten Boesen also delivered a positive health update earlier this week.

Boesen said in a statement: "I spoke with Christian this morning, and he is doing well. He is with his family and in good spirits.

“The expectation is that he will be discharged soon and can return home.

“We are taking good care of the players and staff and remain in regular contact with them.”

The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was able to continue his playing career with Brentford in 2022 thanks to his ICD, while he later spent three years at Manchester United, where he won the League Cup and the FA Cup.

The Danish star joined the German club Wolfsburg in the summer of 2025 and played 34 games for the team last season.
