In any case, at some point what was a sporting event becomes live news and the media has a moral duty to record and report what's happening. In the case of Christian Eriksen, even the players forming a shield around him is part of the unfolding story. In Bradford, the TV footage has been invaluable in fire safety planning and training ever since.

While there is no script if a player has a horror leg break it’s deliberately not replayed.
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.

Unsurprising I suppose that TV is all you are worried about. |
At the point I posted there’d been a number of positive statements about his condition but for the avoidance of doubt I wish him a speedy recovery.
