The Euro 2020 game was suspended for approximately 90 minutes following Eriksen's collapse.

The Danish team canceled all proposed media activities at its base camp on Sunday and postponed a training session.

"It's a traumatic experience," Hjulmand explained. "The attitude (when play resumed) was let's go out and attempt to do what we can. And then we talked about allowing (yourself) to have these feelings. Plus it was OK to say no if they were not able to playwith. A number of these stated that they wanted to try. And I said no matter what emotions they had, it was all OK. You had to allow yourself to attempt to play the sport in the event that you felt like it. And you also needed to dare to show happy emotions. Because a number of them they weren't able to, they were not able to play."

Hjulmand said he had experienced a similar scenario during his career as a club coach"where we almost lost someone on the area."

"And now I can see how everyone is reaching out to their families right now and attempts FaceTiming them," Hjulmand said during his post-game news conference. "So that's what a situation like this does. It is a difficult night."
