"Thank you from the bottom of my heart"

Truro City midfielder Yassine En-Neyah has expressed his gratitude for the support he has received following a “pre-game medical incident”.

The midfielder was taken to hospital by ambulance after he required “medical assistance” prior to Truro’s National League South match at Folkestone Invicta on Saturday.

The game was postponed and his club released a statement later that day, saying he was “stable, sitting up and chatting”.

En-Neyah has since said he is “truly humbled” by the “love and support” he has received. He expressed his thanks in a message uploaded to his Instagram page and to Truro’s X account on Monday evening.

The 26-year-old said: “First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who has reached out and shown me so much love and support. Every single message means more to me than words can explain.

“To the supporters who travelled, some of you making long journeys just to come and watch us play, I am truly sorry that your day ended that way. You gave up your time, travelled miles and spent your hard-earned money to support us. I hope you know how much that means to me, and I will never take that support for granted.

“To my teammates, the club, the management and everyone involved, thank you for being there and showing me that football is about so much more than what happens on the pitch.

“A special thank you to the paramedics and emergency services who attended to me. The work you do, the care you show and the sacrifices you make do not go unnoticed. I will always be grateful for the way you looked after me.

“And to every single person who stopped what they were doing, showed concern or said a prayer for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

“Football brings people together, but it is moments like this that remind you just how much love and humanity exist within the game. I am truly humbled by the amount of support I have received. I wish I could personally thank every single one of you.”
