    It will be five minutes of the first half left to play, not four as that Uefa tweet initially said.

    Then a five-minute break. Then the second half.

    The game restarts at 19:30 BST.

  4. 'The medical team did an amazing job'published at 19:11 British Summer Time 12 June 2021

    Former Arsenal and England physiotherapist Gary Lewin, speaking to 91Èȱ¬ Radio 5 Live: "The medical team will have gone into what we call the 'emergency action plan'.

    "Every team and stadium has an action plan. The medical team will have tried to stabilise him on the pitch. I have to commend the players, the way they protected him and stood around him, I thought was incredible. It showed amazing team spirit.

    "Once the team have stabilised him, they would have got him into the cardiac position as soon as they possibly could. I think that's obviously where he is now. I believe the early reports are he is conscious, so let's cross our fingers.

    "The picture of him leaving the ground with oxygen, that's another sign that whatever happened, the action taken by the medical team was very, very quick and very, very efficient.

    "All I can say is what an amazing job they all did."

    So the game is going to continue tonight at the players' request. Christian Eriksen is awake and stable.

    20:30 Danish time is 19:30 BST so that's in 23 minutes' time if I've read that right.

    The Danish FA has just tweeted (via Google translate): "Christian Eriksen is awake and his condition remains stable. He remains hospitalized at Rigshospitalet for further examinations.

    The Denmark-Finland game can't go ahead [tonight]. If I'm a player, and that has just happened to one of my team-mates, I would not be in the mental frame of mind for this game to continue.

    Uefa can fit this game in another day. Christian Eriksen's health is the most important thing.

    Belgium v Russia is scheduled to kick off in less than 90 minutes time.

    I suspect we will get news on that either way when Uefa releases a statement at 18:45 BST.

    We have just had a message from the FA that says: "Our thoughts this evening are with Christian Eriksen and his family, and all connected with the Danish Football Union."

    England have cancelled their media activities for this evening.
