Denmark host Belgium in their next Group B outing in the Euro 2020 at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on Thursday.
However far Denmark go in Euro 2020, it pales in significance to the health of their star midfielder Christian Eriksen, as well as the wellbeing of his team-mates who were so clearly affected by Saturday’s events in Copenhagen.

How does the Group B look like
Belgium top the group ahead of the second round, having cruised to a 3-0 win over Russia in their opening game of the Euro 2020 on Saturday. The 1-0 scoreline in Finland’s historic victory against Denmark in their first ever appearance at a major tournament was secondary following the incident involving Christian Eriksen in the first half, which led to the game being halted for a couple of hours.
