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

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

He has been taken to hospital in Brussels but was "conscious and speaking", the Football Association of Wales confirmed.

It is believed the support 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.

An FAW statement read: "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."
