'Kjaer was totally out of it' - Eriksen collapse should force UEFA protocol changes says Finland keeper Hradecky

The Finnish No 1 has questioned the governing body's handling of the incident, which saw the Inter midfielder stop breathing on the pitch

Christian Eriksen's collapse at Euro 2020 should force UEFA protocol change, according to Finland goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, who says that "everyone saw" Denmark captain Simon Kjaer "was totally out of it" after tending to his fallen team-mate.

The opening Group B game of this summer's European Championship on June 12 was marred by a major health scare for Eriksen as Denmark's medical staff were forced to resuscitate the midfielder after he stopped breathing on the pitch.
