Christian Eriksen said he has returned home and is "doing well" after collapsing during Denmark's friendly with Ukraine.
Footage showed Eriksen grabbing his chest before collapsing in the 65th minute of Sunday's international. The match in the Danish city of Odense was later abandoned.
Eriksen was fitted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator device to ensure he could resume his playing career after suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
But he confirmed in a post on an Instagram that this was a different circumstance: "I want to let everyone know that I am doing well and that I am home with my family.
"As you can probably imagine, receiving a shock from my ICD has had a major impact on both me and my family, but I want to reassure everyone that this was a different situation from what happened in 2021.
"I am feeling good, and my recovery has already started.
"In addition to being grateful for the support and assistance of all the players and the medical team on the field, I am also incredibly grateful to the doctors who have cared for me and my heart over the years.
"Thanks to their expertise, my ICD did exactly what it was designed to do: protect me when I needed it.
"For now, my focus is on recovering, spending time with my family, going on vacation, and playing football with my children."
