JAKARTA - Danish star Christian Eriksen, who suffered a heart attack during his country's opening Euro 2020 match last weekend, will be fitted with a pacemaker or defibrillator, the Danish Football Union (DBU) announced.
The Inter Milan midfielder collapsed and required cardiac and pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during Denmark's match against Finland in Copenhagen. Now he is still being treated in hospital.
