The 29-year-old Denmark midfielder continues to undergo tests in hospital after collapsing on the pitch during Saturday\u2019s game against Finland at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
However, he took to Instagram on Tuesday morning to post a photograph of himself making a thumbs-up gesture.<\/p>\n
The image was accompanied by a message to his 3.2million followers which read: \u201cBig thanks for your sweet and amazing greetings and messages from all around the world. It means a lot to me and my family.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine \u2013 under the circumstances. I still have to go through some examinations at the hospital, but I feel okay.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, I will cheer on the boys on the Denmark team in the next matches. Play for all of Denmark. Best, Christian.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eriksen fell to the ground during the first half of the Group B game as he prepared to receive a throw-in.<\/p>\n
The Inter Milan star was immediately attended by concerned team-mates and quickly by medics who, as stunned spectators in the stadium and millions more television viewers around the continent look on in horror, worked to resuscitate him.<\/p>\n
After extended treatment, Eriksen was taken to hospital having regained consciousness, but team doctor Morten Boesen later confirmed he had suffered a cardiac arrest and \u201cwas gone\u201d.<\/p>\n
With the agreement of both sets of players, the match was played to a finish with the Finns eventually winning 1-0, although several members of the Danish camp have since questioned the decision to resume.<\/p>\n
Denmark are due to return to action at the same venue on Thursday evening, when they face Belgium.<\/p>\n
