England fire: Blaze breaks out at Estadi Nacional a day before Three Lions' clash against Andorra

Preparations for England’s World Cup qualifier in Andorra were hit by a fire at the Estadi Nacional.

The television gantry at the side of the 3,300-seater stadium was engulfed in flames on Friday afternoon, three hours after England had trained there.

Sprinklers were used to try and get the blaze under control.

Gareth Southgate’s men are due to play the minnows at 7.45pm BST on Saturday.

The fire brigade later arrived and put the fire out, though it remains to be seen how much damage has been caused.
