Ex‑youth football coach Barry Bennell, who is at the centre of a sex abuse scandal has been taken to hospital after being found unconscious.

Police say it was called to a "fear for welfare" incident and the 62‑year‑old was still in hospital.

Bennell was named last week by several former footballers who alleged they were abused as children.

Police forces are now investigating claims of historical abuse.

Meanwhile, Manchester City will take on Chelsea in the Premier League this Sunday.
