Morten Boesen , doctor from Denmark, has appeared at a press conference to give all the latest details about Christian Eriksen’s health status. The doctor confirmed that the footballer is well and stable and that he will continue to be observed to undergo various medical tests. He also left a phrase that sums up what happened on Saturday at the Copenhagen Parken: “He was dead at some point.”
Stable and under observation
We’ve talked to Eriksen a couple of times. He’s still stable, and under the circumstances he’s fine. It will continue to be under observation, and the tests are fine, it seems.
Critical situation
Christian was dead at some point. How close were we to that? I do not know. To the details of why it happened I cannot answer. We had to start with a heart massage and resuscitation because it was gone. It all happened in a moment, so I don’t really know what to say. There was a cardiac arrest and he was revived with a shock from a defibrillator.
More tests
“I prefer that the specialists in the cardiology department say what consequences it may have for Christian. Various tests are underway so I can’t answer that. From the moment it happens until you get help, feedback is extremely important. It was brief and crucial. Very crucial.
Without explanation
“We have no explanation for what happened. I didn’t see it directly. I have seen the same as you, so there is no explanation.
Stable
What does it mean that the player is stable? That he is awake, responds in a relevant way and the heart beats. He’s in it.
Without explanation
I can’t say exactly what happened to Eriksen . I am in constant dialogue with Christian, the family and the doctors. There are still no clarifications.
