CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN sent his first public message from hospital today, thanking supporters for their “sweet and amazing” well-wishes after his collapse at the European Championship.

Eriksen remains in hospital after suffering cardiac arrest during Denmark’s game against Finland on Saturday, when he had to be resuscitated with a defibrillator on the field.

“Big thanks for your sweet and amazing greetings and messages from all around the world. It means a lot to me and my family,” Eriksen wrote in a message that was shared by the Danish soccer association on Twitter.

“I’m fine — under the circumstances,” he added. “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 in the next matches. Play for all of Denmark.”

The message was accompanied by a photo of the 29-year-old Eriksen giving a thumbs up from his hospital bed.

Denmark, who lost to Finland 1-0, next play Belgium tomorrow.

On Monday, Eriksen’s teammates said the midfielder had told them to refocus on the tournament.
