Summary

(0:28)Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen was taken to a hospital Saturday after collapsing on the field during a match at the European Championship, leading to the game being suspended for more than 90 minutes.UEFA said Eriksen has been stabilized, and the Danish federation wrote on Twitter on Saturday night that he was awake then released another statement on Sunday morning which said: "We have spoken to Christian Eriksen, who has sent his greetings to his teammates. Eriksen was given chest compressions as his Denmark teammates stood around him in a shielding wall for privacy.Eriksen's partner, Sabrina Kvist Jensen, went onto the field and was comforted by Denmark captain Simon Kjaer and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.The Finland players huddled by their bench and eventually walked off the field, as did the referees, while the Inter Milan midfielder was still getting treatment.Eriksen was eventually carried off to a loud ovation, with his teammates walking next to the stretcher."We have been in contact with him and the players have spoken to Christian," Moeller said.Inter Milan team physician Piero Volpi told The Associated Press that the Italian club was in contact with the Danish soccer federation."We're in contact with the Danish federation, the team manager, the team physician. ESPN said it didn't have its cameras on the scene and was using a worldwide feed supplied by the Union of European Football Associations."Once it was clear the world feed was going to take a more aggressive approach to covering the situation, we should have moved quicker to a static wide shot of the stadium or returned to the studio," ESPN said in a statement.The incident brought back memories of other soccer players who have collapsed on the field, including Fabrice Muamba, who needed CPR in 2012 when he collapsed in a match between Bolton and Tottenham at White Hart Lane.Muamba, who fully recovered, tweeted "Please God" as Eriksen was taken to the hospital.Later on Saturday, Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku -- a teammate of Eriksen at Inter Milan -- celebrated his opening goal in his side's 3-0 win over Russia by saying: "Chris, Chris, I love you" into the cameras.UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said in a statement: "Moments like this put everything in life into perspective.
