"Fight for your life #eriksen we pray for you," Didier Drogba tweeted. Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey also shared their prayers with the Eriksen family.

Following the request made by players of both teams, UEFA then agreed to restart the match later in the evening with the Demark midfielder in a stable condition in hospital. Finland defeated Denmark 1-0 in their tournament opener.

According to the latest statement released by Danish Football Association on Sunday, Christian Eriksen's condition is "stable" and the star player continues to be "hospitalised" for further examination.

"This morning we have spoken to Christian Eriksen, who has sent his greetings to his teammates. His condition is stable, and he continues to be hospitalized for further examination," Danish Football Association said in an official statement.
