SEVILLE, Spain (Reuters) - Sweden captain Sebastian Larsson has sent his team's best wishes to Danish playmaker Christian Eriksen following his collapse during the match against Finland in their Euro 2020 opener in Copenhagen on Saturday.

Sweden had just arrived in Seville for their first group game against Spain when they heard about Eriksen's collapse and his transfer to hospital following CPR on the pitch, and the 36-year-old Larsson struggled with his emotions as he began the news conference.

"When something like that happens, there are no rivals or different nationalities, just colleagues and fellow human beings. All our thoughts and our love and our strength to Christian, his family and the whole Danish squad," he added. "It does not feel good in any way. You think of Christian and his family, it's a terrible situation you cannot put yourself in. There are things in this world that show that sports are not the most important thing in life," Larsson added.
