Denmark’s team doctor has confirmed that Christian Eriksen was briefly unconscious after collapsing earlier this evening.
Eriksen collapsed against Finland in Euro 2020, with it later being revealed that he had suffered a cardiac arrest.
A pacemaker was fitted to allow him to carry on playing football.
The game between Denmark and Ukraine has been called off and Eriksen was conscious as he got into the ambulance.
In a statement, Morten Boesen said: “Christian is doing well and walkedoff the field himself.
“As I see it, the pacemaker is beating as it should.
“He was briefly gone, but very quickly regained consciousness, and we were quickly in contact with him.
Now, he will be examined further in the hospital to find out what caused the incident.
“We are in constant contact with him and the doctors at the hospital. But Christian is doing well, and he asked me to greet all the players and say that he was okay.”
