Truro City’s National League South trip to Folkestone Invicta was postponed after midfielder Yassine En-Neyah collapsed during the pre-match warm-up and was rushed to hospital by ambulance on Saturday. The 26-year-old former Nottingham Forest youth product was transferred to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford for further treatment, with the ambulance driving directly onto the playing surface to reach him.

Both clubs released brief statements confirming the postponement. Truro subsequently identified En-Neyah as the player involved and said they would provide a further update in due course.

“Yassine En-Neyah required medical assistance during the warm-up and was transferred to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford for further treatment,” Truro’s statement read.

En-Neyah came through the academy at Nottingham Forest and made one senior appearance for the club — a FA Cup tie against Chelsea in January 2020. He departed the following year and has since had spells at Shelbourne, Waterford, and Maldon and Tiptree before joining Truro City.

The incident came just days after En-Neyah played the full 90 minutes for Truro in a National League Cup match against West Brom’s Under-21 side.
