The 34-year-old Eriksen clutched his chest with both hands in an off-the-ball action before dropping to the ground in the 65th minute of Denmark\u2019s international friendly against Ukraine in Odense, Denmark, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The midfielder walked off the field by himself after being attended by medical staff, the Danish soccer federation said after the match, and underwent more tests in Odense University Hospital.<\/p>\n

In an update provided by the federation on Monday morning, Denmark team physician Morten Boesen said: \u201cI spoke with Christian this morning, and he is doing well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is with his family and is in good spirits. The expectation is that he will be discharged soon and can return home.\u201d<\/p>

Boesen said in the statement that the federation is \u201ctaking good care of the players and staff and remain in regular contact with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eriksen was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator in the months after suffering a cardiac arrest<\/a> during Denmark\u2019s opening group game in the European Championship in 2021.<\/p>\n

He returned to playing less than a year after that incident. His current team is Wolfsburg in Germany, where he has a contract through the 2026-27 season.<\/p>
