A Leeds United club statement has confirmed that a supporter suffered a medical emergency ahead of Sunday’s Premier League fixture against Manchester United at Elland Road.
The club published the statement on Monday. It says fellow supporters, stewards and medics responded quickly before ambulance staff took the individual to hospital, where they remain in a critical condition.
“The club is grateful for the rapid action of our stewards and medical support team and appreciates the many notes of interest and support that have been sent in the past 24 hours,” the statement read.
“Everyone at Leeds United joins the broader community in sending our well wishes to the individual and their family at this difficult time.”
The club has released no further details. Read the full Leeds United club statement on the official Leeds United website. Our report of the game itself is here.
