Football fans around the world were left in shock over the weekend when Danish footballer Christian Eriksencollapsed during Denmark's Euro 2020 opening fixture against Finland.

After it was later confirmed the Inter Milan player was stable, his team-mates agreed to resume the fixture in Copenhagen, with Finland claiming a 1-0 win thanks to Joel Pohjanpalo’s 59th-minute goal.

The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is “stable” and set to remain in hospital, the Danish football federation has said.

The emergency incident has led to calls for more defibrillators to be placed at football grounds and other public spaces across the country.

How do I perform CPR? 

The NHS outlines how to perform CPR as follows:

- Place the heel of your hand on the breastbone at the centre of the person's chest. Place your other hand on top of your first hand and interlock your fingers.

- Position yourself with your shoulders above your hands.

- Using your body weight (not just your arms), press straight down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) on their chest.

- Keeping your hands on their chest, release the compression and allow the chest to return to its original position.

- Repeat these compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 times a minute until an ambulance arrives or you become exhausted.

Advice adds: “If you have been trained in CPR, including rescue breaths, and feel confident using your skills, you should give chest compressions with rescue breaths.

“If you're not completely confident, attempt hands-only CPR instead.”

How to perform CPR on a child over 1 years old

NHS advice states the following:

“Open the child's airway by placing 1 hand on their forehead and gently tilting their head back and lifting the chin. Remove any visible obstructions from the mouth and nose.

“Pinch their nose. Seal your mouth over their mouth, and blow steadily and firmly into their mouth, checking that their chest rises. Give 5 initial rescue breaths.

“Place the heel of 1 hand on the centre of their chest and push down by 5cm (about 2 inches), which is approximately one-third of the chest diameter. The quality (depth) of chest compressions is very important. Use 2 hands if you can't achieve a depth of 5cm using 1 hand.

“After every 30 chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 a minute, give 2 breaths.

“Continue with cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until they begin to recover or emergency help arrives.
