Truro City's match against Folkestone Invicta has been abandoned due to a medical emergency after a footballer collapsed during the warm-up.

Yassine En-Neyah, 26, was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after collapsing while warming up with his Truro City team-mates on the pitch.

The former Nottingham Forest academy youngster had been named among the substitutes to face Folkestone in the National League South game in Kent.

A club statement on Saturday read: 'Truro City can confirm that this afternoon's match against Folkestone Invicta has been postponed.

'Yassine En-Neyah required medical assistance during the warm-up and was transferred to the William Harvey hospital in Ashford for further treatment.

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

Truro City's players gathered around the rear of the ambulance where En-Neyah was being treated to shield him from view.

The Moroccan-born former Republic of Ireland youth international began his career at Nottingham Forest, making his professional debut in January 2020 as a substitute during an FA Cup third-round clash against Chelsea.

After being released by Forest in 2021, the winger has played for multiple non-league sides including Shelbourne, Waterford and Maldon & Tipree.

Having briefly represented Truro in 2023, En-Neyah returned to the Tinners for a second spell in 2024, where he has remained since.

When he signed his new Truro contract last season, En-Neyah admitted he didn't think twice about the decision to stay.

'Truro's been my home for the last couple of seasons and it was a very easy decision,' he told BBC Radio Cornwall.

'I feel home so I just want to continue working hard and help the club achieve greater things.

'It wasn't a case of having to think about it, it was just a matter of getting it done and continuing to work hard and do well for the club and for myself.'
