Darts star Kim Huybrechts was reportedly hospitalised with a fractured shoulder after being caught up in violence at the Belgian FA Cup final on Thursday evening. Antwerp’s defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise in Brussels descended into chaos, with Huybrechts among those hurt.
The PDC player supports Antwerp and was at the King Baudouin Stadium supporting his team. They suffered a devastating 1-0 defeat due to Koki Machida’s goal on the stroke of half-time.
There were reportedly ugly scenes outside the stadium after the match. It is claimed that a group of Brussels locals, unrelated to either club, met Antwerp supporters outside the ground and tempers flared.
According to Darts News, Huybrechts attempted to bypass the violence and made his way to a supporters’ coach. However, he was allegedly thrown to the ground from behind.
The 38-year-old’s injuries were sufficient enough for him to be taken to hospital.
