Cambridge United have provided a positive update on the condition of two of its youth players.

Last night’s FA Youth Cup tie at home against Walthamstow at the Cledara Abbey Stadium was abandoned in the 65th minute with the scoreline locked at 2-2 following a clash of heads between U’s team-mates Jordan Yakubu and La Sean Kemp.

Both players were taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge for further checks after being treated on the pitch, and they have since been cleared and released.

A club statement read: “With the score level at 2-2, Cambridge United’s Jordan Yakubu and La Sean Kemp were involved in a clash of heads, which required an extended stoppage before both players were taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital for further checks.

“Thankfully, Jordan and La Sean were both released overnight and have since been cleared.

“The club would like to thank the medical teams, match officials and emergency services for their assistance, and extends its best wishes to both players for a full and speedy recovery.”

Details of when the fixture will be replayed are set to be released in the near future.
