Millwall’s Championship game against Sunderland was suspended on Saturday due to two medical emergencies in the crowd.
Neil Harris’ side were looking to build on their impressive start to the campaign, hosting the Black Cats, who started the day top of the Championship table under Regis Le Bris.
The game was just 41 minutes old when the referee brought a halt to proceedings, with players sent to the changing rooms while medics attended to the two incidents in the stands.
Sunderland had taken the lead through a goal from Aaron Connolly in the 10th minute of the game as they looked to leapfrog Sheffield United once again at the top of the table.
Millwall posted on X, formerly Twitter: ‘The players have left the pitch following a medical emergency in the crowd.
‘We send our best wishes to those receiving attention.’
