Christian Eriksen is expected to be discharged from hospital “soon” after he collapsed on the pitch during Denmark’s friendly with Ukraine on Sunday.
Footage showed the 34-year-old midfielder clutching his chest in the 65th minute of the game and falling to the ground. The match was quickly halted and abandoned shortly afterwards.
In an update on Monday, the Danish side’s team doctor said he had spoken to the former Tottenham and Manchester United player, adding that he is “doing well”.
In a statement issued via the Danish Football Union, Morten Boesen said: “[Eriksen] is with his family and in good spirits.
“The expectation is that he will be discharged soon and can return home.
“We are taking good care of the players and staff and remain in regular contact with them.”

Eriksen previously suffered a cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated on the pitch during a Euro 2020 game against Finland in 2021.
He was then fitted with a special heart-starting device, known as an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator, which allowed him to continue his playing career.
Denmark had a 2-1 lead when Eriksen briefly went unconscious during the match at the Nature Energy Park stadium in Odense, Denmark’s third-largest city, on Sunday.

Dr Boesen, who was also involved with the team when Eriksen’s cardiac arrest occurred five years ago, confirmed on Sunday that the player had been taken to hospital for tests.
He said: “Christian is doing well and walked off the pitch himself.
“As I see it, the pacemaker is responding as it should. He was briefly gone, but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him.”
Neither Denmark nor Ukraine qualified for this year’s World Cup, which kicks off later this week.
