The medical staff were on the scene instantly and began trying to resuscitate Eriksen as his team-mates surrounded him.
After a number of minutes UEFA announced that the game was suspended, with the Finnish players and match officials returning to the changing rooms as the Danish players stayed on the pitch with Eriksen.
Eventually, Eriksen left the pitch conscious and in a stable condition for the hospital.
