He needed 13 minutes of intense medical treatment - including CPR and defibrillator shocks - but was thankfully stretchered off the pitch awake soon after.
It was confirmed on Sunday the former Tottenham man had suffered a cardiac arrest but was stable.
And he has now sent a brief message to the public in quotes reported by Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport.
Eriksen said: "Thank you all, I won't give up. I feel better now but I want to understand what happened.
"I want to say thank you for all you did for me."
Eriksen's friend and agent Martin Schoots also added: "We spoke this morning [Sunday].
"He joked, he was in a good mood, I found him fine. We all want to understand what happened to him, he wants to do it too: the doctors are carrying out in-depth examinations, it will take time.
