Denmark’s playmaker Christian Eriksen has slumped on the pitch as his country play against Finland in the ongoing Euro 2020.

UEFA has suspended the match between Finland and Denmark due to a medical emergency.

The first of the game was about rounding off when the footballer slumped.

Teammates, fans, and opponents appear forlorn and distraught as the medical team continues to battle to save his life.

He is being attended to on the pitch, with medical personnel performing CPR on him.

The atmosphere in the stadium is currently pensive.

As efforts continue to resuscitate him at the Copenhagen stadium, the players have left the pitch before halftime.

Eriksen has now been stretchered off the stadium shielded by some players.
