Fulham's encounter against Blackpool has been suspended following a medical emergency in the stands.
Fulham took an early lead on the sixth minute of the match, through a goal from Aleksander Mitrovic. However, the match was halted shortly afterwards, as the referee was alerted to an incident in the stands in the 16th minute.
A spectator in the Hammersmith End had reportedly taken ill, resulting in both sets of players making their way off the field while the medical emergency is seen to.
Both teams are making their way back into the dressing rooms as the supporter is being attended to. #FULBLK

A similar incident has also taken place at Boundary Park, where Oldham's League Two game against Rochdale was halted. Oldham said the fan was responsive and receiving treatment.
"A heartfelt thank you to supporters who alerted it quickly to the stewards and medical team in the Main Stand Upper,' Oldham tweeted.
"We will try to provide a further update but he is back responsive and receiving treatment."
