Christian Eriksen
Its not looking good for the Danish player. :(
He collapsed on the pitch just before half time, and you could clearly see CPR being given. The match has been postponed (abandoned). |
Re: Christian Eriksen
Absolutely tragic - praying everything will be okay, thinking of his wife and family - such a shock.

Re: Christian Eriksen
He has just been taken to hospital in a stable condition.

Re: Christian Eriksen
I was shocking to see him being given chest compressions, then the defib being used.
The match restarted at 19:30 with both teams wanting to finish the match. |
Re: Christian Eriksen
Footage of the incident here:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PFiGT9LTLqU As one contributor has said, it was lucky that he was the focus of attention when the ball was passed to him as otherwise it might have been vital seconds before it was noticed. If it was his heart maybe the excitement of the ball being passed to him was enough to tip it over the edge. There's been one or two incidents like this fairly recently, I don't recall this happening in the past :confused: Hopefully he's on the mend now. Is this why Match of The Day and the Thierry Henry programme was replaced by a film instead? |
Re: Christian Eriksen
UEFA slapped a copyright claim on that video pretty quick :D

Re: Christian Eriksen
I was at a non-league game a few years ago, where a player collapsed and died. There was no defibrillator, still haunts me. One should be available at every ground, no matter what level. The Premiership can pay, its pocket money to them.

Re: Christian Eriksen
Suspect there will be questions to answer about the TV coverage (which I know was provided to the BBC but they could still have opted out).
Much is being made of the players making a shield - notably they did that at one side only not to block the view of the few fans in that stand only the TV coverage. The players would be able to see from the big screen that the cameras were focussing on the incident. The fact the director didn’t take the hint is a bit ridiculous. |

There's plenty of footage remaining on YouTube for anyone who wants to see it; just do a search for the players name. |
Re: Christian Eriksen
There’s some interesting reading about the Melbourne Cricket Ground where research has been done into the provision of defibrillators.

Perhaps the next player to collapse should warn the TV in advance. :rolleyes: Unsurprising I suppose that TV is all you are worried about. |

I think pointing at smokers is a bit unfair though ( :p: ), I know quite a few smokers that probably face a much lower risk than many of the non smoking couch potato MaccyD munchers, or those in high stress fast paced occupations :D As for the TV coverage, one thing it did do was highlight how effective a fast response by trained people with the correct equipment can be. That's got to be good for extending the provision of defibrillators in other areas of both work & play. |

Similarly the horror crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix last year wasn’t shown until it was clear Grosjean had freed himself from the car and walked into the medical car. I would imagine players (after all, it could be any of them) and the Danish FA will make representations to UEFA and that if a similar incident were to happen again we would see wider angles and a less voyeuristic director. I could be wrong though, and hopefully we don’t find out. ---------- Post added at 20:28 ---------- Previous post was at 20:27 ---------- Quote:
