Inter Milan midfielder collapsed during Denmark’s European Championship game against Finland on Saturday because of which he was transferred to hospital after the CPR on the pitch. The match was suspended for a while until he was confirmed to be out of danger.
“We got him back after one defib (defibrillation) and that’s quite fast”, said Boesen to a news conference. He also told that there is no clarity of why this happened and they have no explanation about it.
