Saturday's match between Folkestone Invicta and Truro City was abandoned before kick-off after a player collapsed during the warm-up.

Truro City midfielder Yassine En-Neyah was taken ill shortly before the National League South game in Kent.

The 26-year-old joined Truro from Irish side Waterford in February 2023, having previously been on the books at Nottingham Forest.

He has scored one goal in 11 appearances for the Cornish side this season.

"Yassine En-Neyah required medical assistance during the warm-up and was transferred to the William Harvey hospital in Ashford for further treatment," a Truro statement read.

"We will provide a further update in due course."

Truro were second in the table before this afternoon's matches, with Folkestone in 15th place.
