Denmark's match against Finland at the European Championship has been suspended.

The match was stopped after Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field.

Eriksen was taken off on a stretcher after needing medical attention for about 10 minutes.

Eriksen collapsed untouched near the end of the first half and was immediately surrounded by medical personnel. His teammates then formed a shielding wall around him.

The Finland players huddled by their bench and eventually walked off the field while Eriksen was still getting treatment. Eriksen was carried off to a loud ovation.

Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen was given chest compressions after collapsing on the field during a European Championship game against Finland.

Eriksen fell to the ground near the sideline late in the first half and was immediately surrounded by medical personnel. His teammates formed a shielding wall around him to give him privacy as the medics treated him.

Ukraine midfielder Oleksandr Zinchenko says playing in the Dutch capital at the European Championship will bring back some happy memories.

The Manchester City defender spent a season on loan at Dutch club PSV Eindhoven before moving back to England permanently.

Zinchenko says the season at the Philips Stadium was "a great career push. That was the first time I met European football and the experience was really valuable to me."

Zinchenko plays at left back for City but is expected to switch to the central midfield for Sunday's match against the Netherlands at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

He says he is happy to play wherever coach Andriy Shevchenko puts him.
