A fire has broken out at Andorra’s National Stadium, a day ahead of England’s World Cup qualifying match there.
Images show fire crews tackling a small blaze at Estadi Nacional, where Gareth Southgate’s team are due to play against the hosts tomorrow evening.
Authorities and fire crews are on the scene, with flames seen enveloping the gantry, and smoke billowing across the pitch and towards some nearby flats.
The fire broke out midway through a Sky Sports live report, three hours after England had been training there.
