Christian Eriksen was \"gone\" before he was resuscitated after suffering a cardiac arrest, the team\'s doctor, Morten Boesen, said in a news conference Sunday.
Eriksen is in stable condition after being taken to a hospital in Copenhagen after he collapsed on the pitch.
\"He was gone, and we did cardiac resuscitation. It was a cardiac arrest,\" Boesen said. \"How close were we [to losing Eriksen]? I don\'t know.
\"We got him back after one defibrillator, so that\'s quite fast. I\'m not a cardiologist, so the details I will leave to the experts at the hospital.\"
Eriksen had just played a short pass when he fell facedown onto the ground and was given urgent medical attention for around 10 minutes.
