Marotta: Eriksen in contact with Inter Milan teammates

Inter Milan GM Beppe Marotta says Christian Eriksen has been in contact with his Nerazzurri teammates.

The midfielder collapsed during Denmark's Euro 2020 match against Finland in Copenhagen this evening and required CPR before he was finally stretchered off, conscious and alert, after 15 minutes of treatment.

“We watched the images on TV that suggested something dramatic was happening, which unfortunately we have also seen on Italian pitches before," Marotta told Rai Sport.

“The players are very close and we all immediately communicated with each other after seeing those images. We didn't want to be invasive and so tried to respect his convalescence once we had been reassured.

“I can only say that 10 minutes ago Eriksen himself sent a message in our internal chat and this confirms the bond between the players."
