Super Eagles star reacts to Christian Eriksen’s news

The Inter Milan star collapsed during Denmark’s Euro 2020 encounter against Scandinavian neighbours in Copenhagen on Saturday evening

Super Eagles star Joe Aribo has sent his prayers and love to Christian Eriksen after the Danish midfielder collapsed in Denmark’s clash against Finland.

Eriksen collapsed unchallenged just a few minutes before half-time, which created a worrying moment for fans worldwide.

It was an anxious and emotional wait at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen as medics rushed to the pitch to save the former Tottenham man’s life.

The 29-year-old needed CPR and a defibrillator before he was taken off the pitch with his teammates surrounding him.

UEFA subsequently announced the game had been suspended, with the football world sending their prayers to the Danish midfielder.

Minutes later, the European football governing body and the Danish FA released a statement that Eriksen is in stable condition, bringing huge relief to football fans around the world.

Aribo is one of the prominent players that reacted to the news, sending a praying and love emoji to the Danish international.

Meanwhile, UEFA later confirmed the game would resume by 7:30 pm at the request of both Danish and Finnish players, following the confirmation that Eriksen is stable.
