The 29-year old footballer collapsed in the 43rd minute of Denmark’s Group B game against Finland on Saturday, laying motionless as medical personnel administered CPR.
“He was gone, and we did cardiac resuscitation”, team doctor Moreten Boesen told a press conference. “How close were we ? I don’t know. We got him back after one defib(defibrillation), so that’s quite fast “, Boesen added. However, the physician also said they had yet to discover the cause of the 29-year old’s heart attack.
“There’s no explanation so far”, Boesen said, adding that all tests done so far on the player, who is still in hospital, have come back fine.
He laid on the field for about 15 minutes before being carried off the pitch and rushed to the hospital.
