Former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel claims Denmark's players did not want to restart their Euro 2020 game against Finland after Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest. Schmeichel, father of Leicester and Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, told ITV's Good Morning Britain that he did not think the players had a choice. Former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel's son Kasper was on the pitch and consoled Christian Eriksen's partner. Peter says the game shouldn't have gone ahead and the players had very little choice. Eriksen's team-mates formed a shield round him while he was being treated on the pitch and Peter Schmeichel is concerned about the effects the incident has had on Denmark's players.
