According to Professor Sharma, Eriksen's probability of returning to play professionally is very low.

Christian Eriksen was hospitalized after suddenly collapsing on the field during the match between Denmark and Finland. Not only facing the risk of being absent from the remaining matches at Euro 2020, the 29-year-old midfielder's career may also come to an end.

Sanjay Sharma, a professor of sports cardiology at St George's University London, explains the causes of Eriksen's cardiac arrest, which could be due to temperature or another unspecified condition.

"Obviously something terrible happened. But the quick reactions of his teammates and the medical team brought Eriksen back to life. The question is what happened? He had tests and previous tests were completely normal.

According to Professor Sharma, Eriksen's probability of returning to play professionally is very low.

"It must be said that he almost died. I think the medical professionals and the insiders need to seriously consider whether Eriksen can return to play or not."

Mr Sanjay said the 29-year-old Danish star appeared to have recovered "very quickly" when it was reported that his heart had stopped b.eating for five minutes.

"What I saw was him running towards the ball, his legs wobbling - it was clear at that point that something happened that led to a terrible mistake," Mr Sanjay said.

Dr. Sanjay also says that the brief pain can be the result of a lack of oxygen in the brain: "The moment you fall to the ground until your heart starts working again is called downtime. The longer you die, the longer you die. For every minute they don't bring you back, if you don't get good CPR, your chance of survival will decrease by about 7%.

Usually for some people with a 5-6 minute downtime, if they wake up, they're in such a bad state that they need to be cleared with a tube down their throat. But remember, Eriksen is a very young person. He's not like old people in cardiac arrest. This is a guy with great circulation."

Dr Scott Murray, a leading cardiologist at the NHS (UK National Health Service), said it was difficult for Christian Eriksen to play professionally after last night's incident.

"It was probably the incident that ended Eriksen's career," said Dr. Scott Murray. "Italian law forbids anyone with serious cardiovascular problems from competing in sports, it's been a rule for a long time."

"They've been doing it for time, over the past 20 years, and they've reduced the d.eath rate from cardiac arrest during sports from 3% to 1%," he added.

Dr Scott Murray also added that Eriksen is playing for Inter, one of the clubs with the best system in the world to check and predict potential heart problems. However, Eriksen needs to be monitored and examined more closely because heart problems are very dangerous and unpredictable.

At the end of the first half of the match between Denmark and Finland, Eriksen collapsed unaffected by the surroundings. The 29-year-old midfielder, then, lay motionless on the field. Immediately, the doctors rushed in to give Eriksen CPR.

After about 15 minutes, Eriksen left the field on a stretcher to go to the hospital. At that time, he seemed to be awake. UEFA and the Danish Football Association later confirmed that Eriksen's health was stable and was able to talk to people.

"If the doctors had to perform CPR and use a defibrillator with Eriksen, it was primary cardiac arrest due to an arrhythmia. I saw him running towards the ball, then losing control. legs. Something serious happened at that time," Mr. Sharma further analyzed in another interview with the Daily Mail.

"The moment you fall down until your heart starts b.eating again is called dead time. The longer this goes on, the worse things get. If the doctors can't get your heart b.eating again, every minute passes. If you go away, your chances of survival decrease by about 7%.Usually, for a person with a five to six minute d.eath time, doctors have to put an endotracheal tube down their throat to help them breathe. But Eriksen is a young man with good health. He has excellent b.lood circulation."

Sanjay Sharma is a professor of sports cardiology at St Georges University, and was the one who directly examined Eriksen's heart problems between 2013 and 2020, when he was at Tottenham. Professor Sharma also revealed that he reviewed Eriksen's test results after he collapsed on the field on June 12.

"I thought, I missed something. But I checked the test results, and everything is perfect," added Sharma. "I have checked Eriksen's health every year, since Tottenham signed him. The tests until 2019 were normal, there was no sign of heart disease. Eriksen is checked every year. I can make sure of it because I examine him directly."

Eriksen, born in 1992, started his career with Ajax - where he won three Dutch national championships. He won the Dutch Footballer of the Year and the Danish Player of the Year a.ward in 2011. In August 2013, Eriksen joined Tottenham. During his seven years in London, he played 304 games and scored 69 goals. In January 2020, the Danish midfielder moved to Inter.

At the national team level, Eriksen is the mainstay of Denmark. He played his first match in March 2010 and became the youngest player to attend the 2010 World Cup.
