Denmark’s Christian Eriksen reassured his fans that he is “fine” and expressed his gratitude for the messages that poured in after he suffered a heart attack in his country’s first European Championship game on Saturday.
In a message via the Denmark national team account on the Instagram application, Eriksen said: “A big thank you for the beautiful and wonderful wishes and messages from all over the world, which means a lot to me and my family. I am fine under the current circumstances.”
The message was accompanied by a picture of Eriksen, 29, lying on the bed smiling and raising his thumb, to indicate his safety.
