Christian Eriksen 'awake and speaking' at hospital, says agent

Christian Eriksen's agent has said that the Denmark attacker is 'awake and speaking' at hospital.

The 29-year-old collapsed during his national side's Euro 2020 clash with Finland on Saturday, which led to the contest being postponed in the latter stages of the first half.

Eriksen received CPR on the field but has since been stabilised in hospital.

Fabrizio Romano has now reported, via Ozcan Akyol, that Eriksen's agent Martin Schoots has told NPO Radio1 that the Inter Milan attacker 'breathes and can speak'.

"Christian Eriksen breathes and can speake. He's awake". Martin Schoots, Eriksen agent, just told this to NPO Radio1 after speaking with Christian's father, reports @OzcanAkyol. 🇩🇰❤️🙏🏻 #prayforEriksen
