A FOOTBALL supporter was rushed to hospital in a “serious condition” after falling from the stands at Wembley during England’s 1-0 victory over Croatia at Euro 2020 on Sunday.
“We can confirm that a spectator fell from the stands just after kick-off in the match between England and Croatia at Wembley Stadium,” a stadium spokesperson said.
“The spectator was given on-site medical attention and was then taken to hospital in a serious condition.”
Stadium officials said they will work alongside European football’s governing body Uefa to investigate the incident.
A crowd of 18,497 watched the match at Wembley.
The stadium will host eight matches during the tournament. It has a current limit of 22,500 fans — a quarter of its capacity — but there are hopes that both semi-finals and the final could be played out in front of larger numbers.
Good effort every time from ward whenever he’s called up,time for a young gun to step up and claim left back spot for keeps
It’s nice that when there’s a story about how much Ward loves playing for Ireland, people still feel the need to jump in and say how sh*t they think he is.
He is absolutely BLESSED to be a professional footballer and to be getting paid for it.
That’s a bit harsh Pat. He’s not the most talented but he more talented than most. He is lucky to be getting paid to play ball. Very few get the chance. I say fair play to Ward!
Have to agree with Patrick. Ward is a very limited footballer.
Hopefully Martin doesn’t pick him for the euros! I think we should be looking to get Steve Finnan out of retirement
You’d have to find finnan first
Some of the comments on this thread already show us what we’ve to look forward to come the summer, no nothing’s having too much to say,when the guys been playing for Ireland he’s always done a decent job
Doing well this year for Burnley. We’ve had way way worse
The chap would be a welcome edition to Liverpool at the minute lord have mercy on him
