Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest and was gone" before being swiftly resuscitated on the pitch, Denmark's team doctor, Morten Boesen, has said.

He was gone," Boesen said. We started the resuscitation and we managed to do it. How close were we to losing him? I don't know, but we got him back after one defib [defibrillation], so that's quite fast."
