Belgium to kick ball out of play vs Denmark in Eriksen tribute

The 10th minute has been selected as the moment for the display in recognition of the stricken midfielders No. 10

Belgium have announced they will put the ball out of play in the 10th minute vs Denmark on Wednesday to recognise Christian Eriksen, who experienced cardiac arrest over the weekend during a match against Finland.

Eriksen, who wears No. 10 for Denmark, is stable and awake now after collapsing on the pitch, so the moment will be a celebration for his survival and improved health.

Romelu Lukaku shouted "Chris, I love you" into a TV camera after scoring against Russia on Saturday in a match that took place hours after Eriksen's collapse.
