UEFA officially suspended the game between Denmark and Finland after Christian Eriksen, practically untouched, dropped to the ground out of nowhere.

The Danish Captain and the Inter midfielder went to the ground during the match with Finland in Copenhagen, sparking immediate concern as Referee Anthony Taylor immediately blew his whistle and brought proceedings to a halt.

Denmark and Finland immediately called for the medical staff, who raced onto the pitch to administer treatment.

His Danish teammates formed a shield around him as the medics provided treatment before white sheets were held up around him to provide privacy.
