Danish national team doctor Morten Boesen, who famously attended to Eriksen during his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, explained that the technology fitted inside the player’s chest functioned exactly as intended. The incident saw the match immediately abandoned after Eriksen briefly lost consciousness before being stabilised by medical staff on the field.
Eriksen echoed these sentiments in his statement, expressing his appreciation for the medical intervention. “In addition to being grateful for the support and assistance of all the players and the medical team on the field, I am also incredibly grateful to the doctors who have cared for me and my heart over the years. Thanks to their expertise, my ICD did exactly what it was designed to do: protect me when I needed it. For now, my focus is on recovering, spending time with my family, going on vacation, and playing football with my children,” he added.
