Danish footballer Christian Eriksen sent his first public message from the hospital today, thanking supporters for their "sweet and amazing" well-wishes after his collapse at the European Championship.
Eriksen remains in the 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," the attacking midfielder for Serie A club Inter Milan and the Denmark national team wrote in an Instagram post.
"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."
