ROME (Dispatches) - The Danish Football Association wants UEFA to change its procedures following the collapse of Christian Eriksen.
The midfielder, 29, suffered a heart attack on the pitch in Denmark’s Euro 2020 defeat to Finland, which resumed after a two-hour pause in play.
Jesper Moller, chairman of the DBU, has criticised UEFA’s move to offer players the option of resuming the fixture on the night or at midday the next day.
“That is a situation players and coaches should not be put in,” he said.
“It is not and should not be their decision.
“It was a wrong decision and completely untenable that the players had to be on the field so soon after the horrible experience.
“We now want an evaluation of the entire decision-making process so that we can get all the relevant facts and information on the table.
