Denmark’s Eriksen ‘doing well’ after collapsing during friendly
COPENHAGEN: Christian Eriksen collapsed during Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine but was later able to walk off the field, five years after suffering a cardiac arrest during the European Championship. The 34-year-old former Manchester United midfielder, who has a type of pacemaker, fell to the ground in the 64th minute of the match in Odense on Sunday. Medical staff rushed onto the pitch while players from both teams gathered around him to shield the scene from television or smartphone cameras. The referee called off the match with Denmark leading 2-1 and Eriksen was subsequently taken to hospital, having been shielded by both sets of players as he walked off the pitch. “Christian Eriksen is conscious and doing well under the circumstances,” the Danish football association wrote on social media. Eriksen has worn a type of pacemaker since he collapsed during the group stage game against Finland at Euro 2020, which was played in 2021. That led to him spending more than six months away from football. Denmark’s team doctor Morten Boesen said Eriksen was “doing well.” “As I see it, the pacemaker responded as it should,” he said. “He was briefly unconscious, but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him. “He will now undergo further examinations at the hospital to determine what caused the incident. “We are in ongoing contact with him and the doctors at the hospital. “But Christian is doing well and he asked me to send his regards to all the players and tell them that he was OK.” Denmark captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg praised the swift help his team-mate received. “There was a throw-in and I walked calmly to the touchline.
Iran fans dismayed by team’s World Cup visa quarrel
TIJUANA: Iran’s national football team was greeted Sunday in Mexico by a small group of supporters eager to give them a warm start to the World Cup, despite visa problems facing some staffers. “I’m very excited to see them,” said Sadegh Galavi as he watched the players’ bus leave the airport in Tijuana, cheered on by about a dozen fans. Galavi, a mechanic and resident of this city on the US border, did not hesitate to get up at dawn to welcome the team when it landed at 5:00 am. “My national team is coming to my city, and being here is a small thing I can do just to welcome them,” the man in his thirties told AFP, proudly wearing the white jersey with green and red trim of the Iranian side, known as “Team Melli.” The gesture felt especially important because the tournament is beginning under difficult circumstances for Iran. While the players obtained the visas necessary to enter the United States and play their group-stage matches in Los Angeles and Seattle, not all delegation members received them. About 15 accompanying officials were denied visas, including Iranian football federation president Mehdi Taj, who previously served in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, designated a terrorist group by Washington. Unshakable faith “It makes no sense to me,” Galavi complained.
