Belgium to kick ball out in tenth minute vs Denmark to applaud Eriksen

Romelu Lukaku says Belgium will kick the ball into touch in the 10th minute of their game against Denmark on Thursday - allowing them to applaud Christian Eriksen as he continues to recover from his cardiac arrest.

The Danish No. 10 collapsed to the ground just before half time in his country's Euro 2020 opener against Finland last week, with the former Tottenham star needing CPR in horrifying scenes in Copenhagen.

Thanks to the heroics of Denmark captain Simon Kjaer, who administered the initial compressions, and the medical teams at the stadium - Eriksen was brought back to life with a defibrilator and was seen conscious as he was carried off on a stretcher.
