SAINTS sent their well wishes to Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen, who was awake and in a stable condition on Saturday night after collapsing during a Euro 2020 match with Finland.
Danish Fa said: “Christian Eriksen is awake and his condition remains stable. He remains hospitalised at Rigshospitalet for further examinations.”
A statement on Saints’ website read: “Everyone at Southampton Football Club will continue to keep Eriksen and his family firmly in their thoughts and prayers.”
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: “Moments like this put everything in life into perspective. I wish Christian a full and speedy recovery and pray his family has strength and faith. At these times, the unity of the football family is so strong and he and his family carry with them the good wishes and prayers of everyone. I heard of fans of both teams chanting his name. Football is beautiful and Christian plays it beautifully.”
Saints defender Jannik Vestergaard played the final 27 minutes of the Group B contest, in which former St Mary’s skipper Pierre-Emile Højbjerg missed a penalty in the second half for the Danes.
