Christian Eriksen has sent a message from hospital saying he is 'fine' after collapsing during his country's first Euro 2020 match, APA reports citing Manchester Evening News.

The Danish midfielder collapsed on the pitch during the first half of the fixture against Finland, and received quick medical treatment from teammates and medics at the stadium.

Eriksen has now sent a message from hospital to say he is 'fine, under the circumstances' and is awaiting tests.

The Danish Football Association - the Dansk Boldspil-Union - posted the message from the midfielder on Twitter this morning.

"Big thanks for your sweet and amazing greetings and messages from around the world.

"I'm fine - under the circumstances. I still have to go through some examinations at the hospital but I feel okay.

"Now, I will cheer on the boys on the Denmark team at the next matches.

"Play for all of Denmark.

"Best, Christian."

Alongside the message, the football association tweeted a picture of Christian taken in hospital.

He is smiling and doing a 'thumbs-up' gesture.

The game was postponed for nearly two hours after the shocking incident on Saturday, before play resumed and Finland went on to win 1-0.
