Just picked this piece of news up, how sad, hopefully he will make a full recovery.

There is a lot of good in this world still !!

Nah. Those are medical blankets. They held a Finland flag behind him though, which can’t be seen on that photo.

Doesn't sound as serious as Muamba - I think he will be ok. Praying he plays again, such a talent.

I don’t think he will ever play again! If his club let him play and it happens again and he doesn’t recover they would be liable , so unfortunately I think his career ended tonight

Harsh

 

[Coops40]

That was by far the worst I’ve ever felt watching a football match.

 

[Fattynomates]

What a legend ! I hope they win for him tonight!

 

[Fattynomates]

Why did they even continue filming it ? Surely they could have cut to the studio or the fans . I wasn’t watching so maybe I’m wrong but if they filmed this it’s not right !

 

[StripiestPilot]

Even if he does retire after this, at least he got to win that title with Inter. He can retire with a winners medal and no regrets

Nice dedication from Lukaku.

If that is it for his career...

Thank you, Christian Eriksen!

It's also difficult to predict why it would happen.

I think part of the reason will be the heat. I'm always against playing high intensity Sport in summer conditions.

Someone told me that he's known to consume 2 or 3 energy drinks prior to games. I don't know how true that is obviously, or whether that it can cause such a thing, but I do know that if you drink them in quantity they are extremely bad for you. At this point it doesn't even matter of course, but I suppose down the line there'll be an explanation. Sometimes things just happen that don't make any logical sense.

I've just seen what happened.

To clarify its definitely a sudden cardiac arrest. All his symptoms of the episode point to that. There is no doubt the Muamba incident has resulted in improved medical attention.

As a professional in this field I have to say the fact he is stable and talking so quickly means that there is a good chance for him to make a full recovery. There are doubts that he will play again though. I don't think that matters, he's managed to get through the crisis period of an episode like this.

There is no way you can predict this, an episode like this does not present any symptoms. He is not even someone we would consider in a high risk group, unless he has a familial risk which obviously is not public knowledge. He will have been through screening before, but sudden cardiac episodes are devastating purely for the fact you can't predict them.

He's not out of the woods yet, next 48 hours are important. Surprised that the Denmark and Finland game is back on.

This will also affect other players who are close to him e.g. Kane, Toby, Verts, Inter and Ajax boys. The good news is that he is conscious!

Hang in there Maestro.

Thanks for the professional insight.

The cameramen were likely as shocked as anyone, and may not have thought about anything else other than paying attention to what’s happening with Ericksen.

Qatar?

Well done ArcspacE for not disagreeing with my honour to Christian but everything around it.

Yea I imagine they are told they need documentation, right?
