Christian Eriksen remained in stable condition in a Copenhagen hospital Sunday and “sent his greetings to his teammates” as he recovers from his collapse during a European Championship game, the Danish soccer federation said.

The rest of the Danish team was being given crisis management assistance as they process the incident that happened during Saturday’s game against Finland in Copenhagen.

“This (Sunday) morning we have spoken to Christian Eriksen, who has sent his greetings to his teammates,” the Danish federation wrote on Twitter. “His condition is stable, and he continues to be hospitalised for further examination.”

Lukaku’s prayer

Belgium eased to a 3-0 win over Russia on Saturday with Romelu Lukaku scoring a brace but considered the victory a footnote after Eriksen’s collapse.

“There were a lot of tears before our match. It was very hard for me to focus,” Lukaku, who plays with Eriksen at Inter Milan said. “Our thoughts are with Christian. I just hope and pray he gets well soon.”
