There was concern on Wednesday over a Leeds fan believed to have been dropped from the top flight at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge.
Leeds traveled to the capital to face Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and the Blues will face Leicester in the quarter-finals in what could have been a Championship match after winning 3-2.
It was so, at least temporarily, with Mateo Joseph giving Daniel Farke’s team the lead after just three minutes following a series of defensive errors by the Blues.
The goal sparked wild celebrations among the away fans attending the match, with thousands of Leeds fans packed into the upper tier of the Shed End.
But one fan ended up falling from the upper tier to the lower tier fan group, which also contained thousands of away fans.
There was concern over a Leeds fan who was dropped from the visiting team’s top flight at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
The fans were one of the thousands of fans who traveled and were worried about their health.
Fans cheered as medical staff rushed to the scene, with several stewards and police officers also present.

Medical personnel rushed to the scene and took the supporter to a nearby hospital after removing him from the ground.
Play did not stop, but footage showed a dozen medical staff, stewards and police surrounding the incident.
Fans could be seen watching with worried looks, before many cheered as the person was pulled from the ground.
The overall scenes were chaotic, with a bitter rivalry forming between the two sides more than 50 years ago.
However, the celebrations were short-lived as Nicolas Jackson scored the equalizer just over 10 minutes later to get the hosts back on track.

However, the lead was short-lived as Mykhailo Mudryk put Chelsea ahead after Nicolas Jackson equalised.
The match was the Blues’ first since their Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, and they initially showed signs of a hangover until Jackson slotted past Illan Meslier in the 15th minute.
Chelsea controlled most of the match from there and took the lead in the 37th minute, when Mykhailo Mudryk scored for Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
Joseph scored again to make it 2-2, but Conor Gallagher scored minutes from time to send the Premier League side through to the next round.
