After the Eriksen situation today, I’m wondering how they couldn’t prevent it days or weeks prior to the match today. All prayers goes to Christian Eriksen, get well soon!

I am not a medical expert. Keep this in mind. Doctors can observe things. They know what increases the likelihood of cardiac arrests. For example, blood clotting, or weak heart muscles. They can remedy some of the stuff, or request the player not on the pitch. But not all cardiac arrests are predictable. Some happen completely suddenly. There are no warning signs for them. Doctors unfortunately, cannot predict these.
