Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen has expressed his gratitude for the "amazing messages from all around the world" after posting his first photo from hospital since collapsing during the Euro 2020 match against Finland on Saturday.
Eriksen, 29, collapsed after suffering a cardiac arrest in the 42nd minute of the match in Copenhagen and was given life-saving cardiac massage treatment on the pitch as his Denmark teammates formed a shield around him and the medical team.
Following a distressing 15 minutes of treatment, Eriksen was stretchered off and photos showed him to be awake with his arm raised.
Now three days later, Eriksen has provided his own update from his hospital bed, writing on Instagram: "Hello everyone. Big thanks for your sweet and amazing greetings and messages from all around the world. It means a lot to me and my family.
"I'm fine - under the circumstances. I still have to go through some examinations at the hospital, but I feel okay.
"Now, I will cheer on the boys on the Denmark team in the next matches. Play for all of Denmark."
Denmark resume their Euro 2020 campaign against Belgium on Thursday followed by the final Group B game against Russia two days later.
However, the fallout from Saturday continues after Danish players expressed their dissatisfaction at the position they were put in by Uefa over how to complete the fixture against Finland.
Governing body Uefa offered the players the choice of resuming the match on Saturday night or beginning again on Sunday at 12pm time, while former Denmark goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel - the father of current custodian Kasper - claimed on British television that if the Danes did not pick one of the first two options then they would forfeit the match 3-0.
“We were put in a position I don’t think we should have been put in,” Kasper Schmeichel said. “It probably required that someone above us had said that it was not the time to make a decision and maybe should wait for the next day.”

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
