Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has released a heartfelt statement to Danish footballer Christian Eriksen, who collapsed during a match on Saturday afternoon. The royal was attending the game in person when she, and thousands of football fans in the stadium and more watching from home, witnessed Christian fall during Denmark's Euro 2020 match against Finland.
Onsite paramedics performed CPR on the footballer before he was transferred to hospital where he is currently stable.
