"He was gone. And we did cardiac resuscitation. And it was cardiac arrest," Boesen said. "How close were we? I don’t know. We got him back after one defib. That’s quite fast."
Team officials said Eriksen was in stable condition at a Copenhagen hospital and had spoken to teammates via video link.
Boesen said he was still unsure what caused the collapse.

"I’m not (a) cardiologist, so the details about why it happened and further, I will leave to the experts," he said, adding Eriksen may not have survived if it wasn’t for the top-notch medical equipment on hand.
