An England fan has been rushed to hospital with serious injuries after falling from the stand at Wembley.
The incident occurred just minutes after England started their EURO 2020 campaign against Croatia this afternoon.
Concerned witnesses described how the spectator tumbled over the banner and plunged towards the seating and concrete area.
The injured fan was immediately attended to by medics before being rushed to hospital in a serious condition.
A Wembley spokesman confirmed the incident, adding: "We can confirm that a spectator fell from the stands just after kick-off in the match between England and Croatia at Wembley Stadium.
"The spectator was given on-site medical attention and was then taken to hospital in a serious condition.
"We will continue to work with UEFA to ensure the matter is fully investigated and we are continuing to monitor the situation."
An England supporter who witnessed the incident at Wembley told the Evening Standard: “We saw his legs go over the barrier and then he fell and hit the ground and didn’t move.

A fellow England fan added: “I didn’t see it but spoke to some of the guys who did at half time. They were traumatised. He fell from the balcony towards the seats and the concrete.
“I think it happened around kick-off otherwise I would have noticed. That bit of seating was cleared.”
