Belgium pauses game after 10 minutes to pay tribute to Christian Eriksen

Belgium paid tribute to player Christian Eriksen in the Group B match against Denmark by stopping the play in the 10th minute. Before the kick-off, a huge Eriksen shirt with the number 10 was revealed in support of the player who suffered from a cardiac arrest during the team’s defeat on Saturday.

During the 10th minute, the game was stopped for a huge round of applause all in tribute of the player. Eriksen did confirm that he is now recovering and is ‘fine – under the circumstances.’ It was also confirmed that Eriksen will be fitted with a defibrillator implant which is a necessary device after cardiac arrest due to rhythm disturbances.
