Fifa fair play award 2021: Denmark, Scott Brown & Claudio Ranieri nominated

The response of Denmark's players and medical staff to Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 in June has earned them a nomination for the 2021 Fifa fair play award.

Scott Brown - for his Old Firm show of support with Glen Kamara after racial abuse of the Rangers player - and Claudio Ranieri are the other nominees.

Inter Milan midfielder Eriksen, 29, has had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device - a type of pacemaker - fitted but is not permitted to play in Italy this season as a result of his cardiac arrest.

Brown, who was Celtic captain, approached Kamara prior to the Old Firm derby in March to offer solidarity after the Finn had been subjected to racial slurs by Slavia Prague's Ondrej Kudela in a Europa League tie.
