England hero Harry Kane lifts lid on Christian Eriksen chat after cardiac arrest

England striker Harry Kane has been in contact with Christian Eriksen since his ex-Tottenham team-mate suffered a cardiac arrest.

Eriksen collapsed on the pitch while playing for Denmark in their opening match of Euro 2020 against Finland last month.

The 29-year-old received medical attention on the pitch before being taken to a local hospital and fitted with a heart-starting device.

He has since been discharged and at the weekend was pictured out and about for the first time since the horrific ordeal.

Kane, who played alongside Eriksen for seven years at Spurs, is wishing the star well ahead of England's semi-final clash with Denmark on Wednesday night.

Speaking to talkSPORT’s Faye Carruthers, he said: "I spoke to him after what happened to him and wished him well. He sent me a quick message back to say he’s okay.

"I kind of left him alone. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster for not just him but his family as well.

"I’m sure he’ll be cheering against me on Wednesday, and rightly so. He will back his country all the way.

"We know that it has united Denmark as a team and pushed them to be where they are now. We can’t focus too much on that. We have to focus on ourselves and what we can do.

"Whatever happens, I hope to see to Chris soon and be in contact with him soon. The most important thing is he’s well."

England are favourites to beat the Danes at Wembley and reach their first ever European Championship final, but Kane is not taking Wednesday's opponents lightly.

He continued: "They’re a great side and a team who can also change their formation during the game as well, depending on how we set up.

"They are a good structured team and have some good individual players. They’re hard to break down and don’t concede a lot of goals.

"We know it’s going to be a really tough game, but we also know there are areas we can exploit and maybe have some success.

"At the end of the day, it’s up to us. If we play to our best ability, physically, mentally and technically, then we should have enough to win the game.

"As we know in major tournaments, in big games it is fine margins that can decide the game."
