National League South fixture called off following player collapse during pre-match warm-up

A National League South fixture between Folkestone Invicta and Truro City was called off on Saturday after a visiting player experienced a medical emergency prior to kickoff. Truro City midfielder Yassine En-Neyah collapsed on the pitch during the pre-match warm-up in Kent, prompting the immediate abandonment of the fixture.

According to an official club statement issued by Truro City, the 26-year-old athlete required urgent medical assistance at the venue. Emergency responders attended to the player on-site before he was transferred by transport to the William Harvey hospital located in Ashford for continued medical care and evaluation.

Both clubs confirmed the postponement of the afternoon contest following the incident. Truro City stated that additional updates regarding the health and condition of the midfielder would be released publicly in due course as more information becomes available from medical staff.

Prior to the abandonment of Saturday's fixture, Truro City occupied the second position in the National League South league standings. Their opponents, Folkestone Invicta, were positioned in 15th place in the division table before the match was called off.

En-Neyah is currently in his second stint with the Cornish football club. He initially transferred to Truro from Irish club Waterford during February 2023, following a previous tenure with Nottingham Forest. Throughout the current season, the midfielder has recorded one goal across 11 appearances for the team.
