,...monitoring reports of a plyer collapse in one of the Euro 2020 matches.... (The Guardian's Barry Glendenning w/the reports from pitchside) Game stops after Christian Eriksen collapses42 min: There’s huge concern from referee Anthony Taylor and the players of Denmark as Christian Eriksen goes to ground. I think he just collapsed and fell over as he went to receive a throw in. This is very worrying. 44 min: Erikssen appears to be getting CPR on the pitch. Oh my, this is awful! His teammates are standing around creating a kind of human screen to give him some privacy as the medical staff attend to him. I think I can see somebody pumping his chest.

(The Guardian) 45 min: This is truly awful. Erikssen is being resuscitated on the pitch as his distraught team-mates stand around him in an outward facing ring to shield him and give their teammate and the medical staff looking after him some privacy. He just dropped face first into the ground as he went to receive a throw-in.
45+2 min: As the players of Denmark, some of them distraught, form a shield around their team-mate Christian Eriksen while the team’s medical staff work on him, those from Finland are keeping their distance but also look incredbly concerned and upset. The crowd has fallen largely silent. This is truly traumatic for all present at the Parken Stadium. Come on, Christian!

(The Guardian) Denmark v Finland: Christian Eriksen collapsed down by one corner flag near the touchline. His own team-mates and a couople of Finland players immediately signalled to referee Anthony Taylor that he needed urgent medical attention. I think Taylor had spotted that anyway and immediately halted play so the medical staff could come on and work on the midfielder. They continue to do so while the players of Finland maintain a respectful distance on the other side of the pitch.

(The Guardian) Denmark v Finland: A young woman, who I guess is Eriksen’s wife or partner has made her way on to the pitch and is being consoled by Denmark skipper Simon Kjaer and Kasper Schmeichel. The Finland players, looking very shaken, have retired to the dressing-room. Denmark’s distraught players continue to form a wide circular shield around their stricken team-mate.
Denmark v Finland: On the BBC, they’ve cut back to the studio and probably not before time. Gary Lineker, Cesc Fabregas, Alex Scott and Micah Richards all look in total shock, as am I. It’s difficult to know what to type here, really. Please God, Christian will be OK.

(The Guardian) What we know: The ball went out of play for a Denmark throw-in down near the corner flag. Rushing to receive the ball from whoever was taking it, Christian Eriksen collapsed face first into the turf as the ball hit his knee. Two nearby Finnish players, a Dane and referee Anthony Taylor immediately signalled for urgent medical assistance. Soon after that arrived, one of the Danish medical team was seen performing compressions on Eriksen’s chest as his teammates formed a ring around him and the staff treating him. As of five minutes ago, Eriksen was still receiving treatment on the pitch. The BBC have ended their coverage and I’m told the match has been postponed. This is awful.

(The Guardian) Denmark v Finland: I have no further reports to bring you at the moment and I’m not about to engage in idle London-based speculation about what’s going on in a small corner of a field in Copenhagen. My hands are shaking here, so it’s a little difficult to type. I will bring you any confirmed news as it comes. It’s worth saying again: C’mon Christian! Fight!

(BBC Sport) Fabrice Muamba collapsed on a pitch while playing for Bolton Wanderers in 2012. He suffered a cardiac arrest and was "in effect dead" for 78 minutes. He recovered thankfully although never played again. Micah Richards, Former Man City defender on BBC One: Fabrice Muamba, he pulled through - and that's all he can do. We don't know the news, so we can't make assumptions.

Alex Scott, Former England and Arsenal defender on BBC One: I can't believe what we are witnesing. Football goes out of the window. You are worried about his family and the rest of the players. I just picked up the phone and text my mother to say I love her. It's a reminder of how quickly things can change. All we can do is sit here and hope that he pulls through this. We need to keep sending prayers. Pat Nevin, Former Chelsea and Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live: The fans are in shock - everyone in the stadium definitely is. I don't think many people have left. They are just sitting there, not knowing what to do. Everybody is in shock. He is such an incredibly loved player, and a fabulously talented player. We hope and pray for good news.

(The Guardian) Denmark v Finland: The game has, for the time being suspended and it seems very unlikely to continue this evening. Obviously the actual match could not be more unimportant and everyone’s thoughts are with Christian Eriksen. He has been removed from the pitch on a stretcher and a kind Danish reader has emailed to say he is only 500 metres from the most renowned hospital in Copenhagen, where he will receive the best possible care.
