Yassine En-Neyah, 26, required medical assistance while warming up for Truro and was subsequently rushed to hospital.

Kick-off was initially pushed back before the match was ultimately postponed at 3:14pm GMT, 14 minutes after the original start time.

“Truro City can confirm that this afternoon's match against Folkestone Invicta has been postponed,” Truro’s statement read.
