Medical personnel quickly rushed onto the pitch to attend to him as both teams looked on anxiously.

In an encouraging update, the Danish Football Association confirmed that Eriksen is conscious and “doing well under the circumstances”, adding that he is now in high spirits.

He was later able to get up and walk to the ambulance himself before being taken away for further medical checks.

Officials subsequently called off the game, prioritising the player’s health and well-being.

The incident has prompted an outpouring of support from across the football world, with fans and players alike sending messages of strength and solidarity to the Danish international.

This is the second time the Danish midfielder will be collapsing during a major international match.

He stayed away from football for some months before being fitted with a heart pacemaker device.

He has gone on to play at the highest level for Brentford, Manchester United and has also returned to international football.

He currently plays for German Bundesliga side VFL Wolfsburg.
