Walsall teenager dies at training
Walsall have announced that apprentice Anton Reid has died.

The 16-year-old first-year youth team player collapsed during a training session on Monday at the University of Aston Training Ground.

A Walsall statement read: "Players and staff have been left heartbroken by this terrible tragedy."

As a mark of respect Tuesday night's Pontin's Holidays League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers has been postponed.

The flags at the League One club's Banks's Stadium are also flying at half-mast.

Walsall's statement added: "Our thoughts and prayers are with Anton's parents, family and friends at this very sad time."
