Come on, of course they will abandon and reschedule it, but all the interested parties (police, local authorities, etc.) have to be coordinated first. Organising big events like this is not that simple, you can't just unilaterally reschedule things. They will have been running around like blue-arsed flies from the moment the match was stopped.

Apparently game to resume in 25 mins. Absolutely nuts, even if agreement between teams.

A good time to pay tribute to a few people, methinks.

Firstly, Anthony Taylor. Easy to shout & bawl at refs for getting stuff wrong but he handled the whole thing brilliantly. His training for this sort of thing would have kicked into gear but he spotted the seriousness and acted right away. Well played ref... clap

Next, Simon Kjaer, the Danish captain. Made sure he hadn't swallowed his tongue and got him into the recovery position, could well have saved his life.

The rest of the Danish team, led by Kasper Schmeichel, forming a shield around him to prevent folk watching and to give the medics a chance to work on Eriksen without the gaze of the crowd on them. Schmeichel is a class act, his actions before after the Leicester owner's Top's helicopter crash and also at the FA Cup Final show him to be an unbelievable human being. His consoling of Eriksen's partner too, wow.

And the medics. Everyone turns out to a football match hoping they'll never be needed. Having watched thousands of matches over 50 years, I've seen many players stretchered off with broken legs or head wounds etc, none of them would have thought this would have happened today yet they were on there like a shot and saved his life.

There is a time and a place for apportioning negative thoughts towards the TV companies for showing stuff in too much detail but this is neither the time nor the place. Right now, let's just hope and pray that a 29-year-old bloke with a partner + two young children makes a 100% recovery from a horrible, horrible event.

You have to admire Kasper Schmeichel. He has had one hell of a time over the last few years with everything that has happened. Brave and strong man

Game back on BBC 1 in a tick

Lineker :

"We will be back on air at 7.25 on @BBCOne. I understand some of you would have been upset with some of the images shown (we were too). Obviously these were the host pictures and out of our control. They should have stayed on a wide of the stadium. Apologies."
