Wales fan in hospital after Belgium stadium fall

A Wales football fan has been hurt after falling from the stands during Monday night's World Cup qualifier in Belgium.

The 29-year-old man, who has not been named, fell from the upper tier into the lower tier at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels

He was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital in Brussels, police confirmed. The BBC has been told he received a minor back injury and is expected to be released from hospital.

It is believed the supporter fell during celebrations among the 4,500 travelling fans when Wales equalised with a third goal.

Wales went on to lose 4-3 to Belgium following a late goal, a first defeat for new manager Craig Bellamy.

The Football Association of Wales statement said: "We can confirm that one male fan fell from the upper to lower tier during the match at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels this evening.

"He was conscious and speaking and has now been taken to hospital for further checks."
