Christian Eriksen Collapse: Inter Refute Rumours Of Covid Vaccine Behind Health Concern

The untimely collapse of Christian Eriksen in the game on Saturday due to a sudden cardiac arrest against Finland has raised a number of questions since the Denmark midfielder was believed to be fully fit with no heart concerns prior to the game. While the medical professionals are yet trying to figure out the cause of the Christian Eriksen collapse, there have been several rumors floating around that the Inter Milan midfielder may have been given the vaccine which may have led to complications. So, 'did Christian Eriksen take Covid vaccine?' or 'did Christian Eriksen have Covid?' are the top rumors to which Inter has responded.

Christian Eriksen, 29, collapsed near the touchline in the 42nd minute when he was looking to receive a throw-in. As soon as the Denmark midfielder went down, players from both sides called for the medical team to come onto the pitch to inspect Eriksen. The Inter Milan midfielder was given life-saving CPR and chest compressions before being taken to the hospital. Speaking of the incident the Denmark team's doctor, Morten Boesen, said in a news conference that Eriksen "was gone" before he received treatment from the medics. "He was gone, and we did cardiac resuscitation. It was a cardiac arrest. 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."
