You are right in that the top players are playing too many games but the fools at UEFA and FIFA have plans for even more games as the Champions league is due to be increased in size and number of games eventually and that tool from FIFA is trying for a World cup every 2 years instead of 4. |

Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest when he collapsed in Denmark's Euro 2020 match against Finland, said Danish team doctor Morten Boesen.
Earlier, officials said the midfielder was stable in hospital and had sent his greetings to his national team-mates. Eriksen collapsed shortly before half-time in Denmark's opening Euro 2020 game against Finland on Saturday. "He was gone. We did cardiac resuscitation, it was a cardiac arrest," said Boesen. "How close were we to losing him? I don't know, but we got him back after one defib [defibrillation] so that's quite fast. "The examinations that have been done so far look fine. We don't have an explanation to why it happened." The 29-year-old Inter Milan player had emergency medical treatment on the pitch before being taken to hospital. "His condition is stable and he continues to be hospitalised for further examination," said a statement from Danish officials on Sunday morning. "This morning we have spoken to Christian, who has sent his greetings to his team-mates. "The team and staff of the national team has received crisis assistance and will continue to be there for each other after yesterday's incident. "We would like to thank everyone for their heartfelt greetings." |

Never good when the doctors don't have a reason as to why it happened. Back of your mind you worry it will happen again.

And we're allowing FIFA to insist that all these guys follow their rules and live, train and play in the blistering heat of Qatar.
Still utter madness. And that is quite apart from the human rights abuses and violations suffered by the workforce who have produced the stadiums which football still happily ignores. And they'll have the brass neck to have people TTK! lol. |

Cardiac arrest has nothing to do with fitness, fatigue or age. It wasn't hot at the ground either
It's just part of life. A scary part at that He was very lucky that he was playing football, and defibrillators were at hand |

Ive been watching football for years and years.
There was never any talk of footballers collapsing in the 70s or 80s. They are getting more and more regular these incidents now. Fabrice Muamba, wasnt Daley Blind in trouble a couple of years back? Now Eriksen. The game is more physical now than ever. Players run 10k per game as a minimum requirement. All this hi intensity pressing. Its not like it was in mexico 86 for example. Players strolling around in 100 degree heat. Tennis players might play 5 set matches every other day but look at the french open today. Tsitsipas races to a 2 set lead and then breaks down leaving Djokovic with a virtual stroll to the title. Thats not sport thats survival. Rather watch Ant Middleton on C4 tonight. You have to be concerned with the way the game is going. Qatar is going to be an absolute clusterbomb. |

Could have been a reaction to a vaccination he had recently?
Nobody knows the effects of this experimental gene therapy |
