MILAN, Italy (Reuters) - Denmark captain Simon Kjaer has said he was not a hero for his efforts to save stricken team mate Christian Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 - an incident that has left the Inter Milan midfielder's future in football uncertain.

Eriksen collapsed to the ground during Denmark's opening game of the tournament against Finland in June and received life-saving treatment on the pitch, with the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) started by Kjaer.
