Another troubling incident has taken place at a game in England
In a season plagued by fans falling ill in the stands, yet another English football match was delayed because of a medical emergency – the second-tier match between Millwall and Nottingham Forest.
Just two weeks after a fan collapsed in the crowd during Tottenham’s Premier League trip to Watford, London club Millwall announced that kick-off in their Championship clash at home to Forest would be delayed on Saturday.
Mystified fans reacted with alarm on social media after the Lions revealed that the game at the Den, in the south of the capital, would be put back by ten minutes while medics attended to the stricken supporter.
Similar worrying hold-ups have become eerily frequent in English football this season, continuing into 2022 after rarely being witnessed in previous years.
Another medical emergency. Totally normal 👇 https://t.co/aZBEaVF4WK
