West Ham fan, 19, in hospital after falling off wall and fracturing skull in Prague

A 19-year-old West Ham fan remains in hospital after falling off a wall and fracturing his skull while in Prague for Wednesday's Europa Conference League final win.

The Irons ended their 58-year wait for a European trophy after beating Italian side Fiorentina 2-1 thanks to Jarrod Bowen's sensational 90th-minute winner. As fans celebrated one of the greatest nights in West Ham's history, one family's trip to the Czech capital turned sour.

Connor Reid, who made the journey to Prague with his dad, Alex, suffered a fall at a "five-metre drop" which fractured his skull and left him unable to return home to England. Details on a GoFundMe page organised to help Connor and his father get accommodation and eventually fly home say that the impact caused a bleed on the brain and doctors were also forced to remove his spleen.
