Denmark's Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch during Denmark's World Cup warm-up clash with Ukraine this evening.
The incident occurred in the 65th minute of the game, with Denmark 2-1 up. The match was then abandoned.
The Wolfsburg player previously collapsed for his country during Euro 2020 against Finland.
The national team doctor has issued a statement on his condition, and thankfully he appears to be doing well under the circumstances.
"Christian is doing well and walked off the field himself.
"As I see it, the pacemaker is firing as it should. He was briefly gone, but very quickly regained consciousness, and we were quickly in contact with him.
"Now he needs to 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."
