Soccer player Christian Eriksen is "in good spirits" and expected to leave the hospital soon after collapsing on the field again while playing for Denmark, the national team's physician said Monday.
The 34-year-old Eriksen clutched his chest with both hands in an off-the-ball action before dropping to the ground in the 65th minute of Denmark's international friendly against Ukraine in Odense, Denmark, on Sunday.
The midfielder walked off the field after being attended by medical staff, the Danish soccer federation said after the match, and underwent more tests in Odense University Hospital.
In an update provided by the federation on Monday morning, Denmark team physician Morten Boesen said: "I spoke with Christian this morning, and he is doing well.
"He is with his family and is in good spirits.
The expectation is that he will be discharged soon and can return home."
Boesen said in the statement that the federation is "taking good care of the players and staff and remain in regular contact with them."
Eriksen was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator in the months after suffering a cardiac arrest during Denmark's opening group game in the European Championship in 2021.
He returned to playing less than a year after that incident.
His current team is Wolfsburg in Germany, where he has a contract through the 2026-27 season.
Denmark did not qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
