World Cup Digest: Denmark Boss Hails Unity Behind Eriksen
- On Sunday, Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed during a friendly match against Ukraine, though team doctor Morten Boesen confirmed he "regained consciousness very quickly" and the Danish Football Union provided a positive update.
- Eriksen previously suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 during a match against Finland, requiring an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator device to resume his professional career.
- Cardiac Risk in the Young chief executive Steven Cox warned that this second collapse highlights the impact of undiagnosed heart conditions, noting at least 12 fit and healthy young people die suddenly every week.
- Through CRY's screening programme, which tests more than 30,000 young people annually, around one in 300 individuals is found to have a life-threatening underlying cardiac condition often with no prior symptoms.
- International evidence shows that Italy, where cardiac screening for young people in sport is mandatory, has reduced sudden cardiac death among athletes by almost 90 per cent, supporting the goal that no young person should die from undiagnosed conditions.
