CHRISTIAN Eriksen has revealed he feels "fine – under the circumstances" in hospital as investigations into his collapse during Denmark's opening Euro 2020 match continue.
The 29-year-old midfielder posted a photograph of himself smiling and making a thumbs-up gesture on his official Instagram account this morning, accompanied by a message of thanks.
He wrote: "Big thanks for your sweet and amazing greetings and messages from all around the world. It means a lot to me and my family.
"I'm fine – under the circumstances. I still have to go through some examinations at the hospital, but I feel okay.
"Now, I will cheer on the boys on the Denmark team in the next matches. Play for all of Denmark."

Eriksen slumped to the ground during the first half of Denmark's Group B fixture against Finland in Copenhagen on Saturday evening and was resuscitated on the pitch.
Team doctor Morten Boesen later confirmed the Inter Milan player had suffered a cardiac arrest and "was gone".
Eriksen's stunned teammates and millions of television viewers around the world looked on as he underwent extended treatment before being rushed to hospital, where medics are trying to find out the cause for his collapse.
The match resumed later that evening with Finland eventually securing a 1-0 victory.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
