Christian Eriksen Thanks Fans, Says 'I Won't Give Up' Following Cardiac Arrest

Denmark's Christian Eriksen sent a message to fans as he recovers from his scary collapse on the pitch Saturday.

"Thank you, I won't give up," Eriksen's agent, Martin Schoots, relayed to Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Alex Young of the Evening Standard). "I feel better now, but I want to understand what's happened.

"I want to say thank you all for what you did for me."

Eriksen collapsed during his team's match against Finland at Euro 2020.

Morten Boesen, the team doctor, said Eriksen suffered cardiac arrest and needed to be resuscitated.
