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. hap/gf/mw/jc
