Wealdstone's Daniel Nkrumah Stretchered Off With Serious Injury

Scunthorpe's National League match against Wealdstone was abandoned deep into added time after visiting striker Daniel Nkrumah suffered a serious injury. The home side led 2-1 when Nkrumah was stretchered off following a lengthy delay for treatment.

Wealdstone players appeared to follow Nkrumah off the pitch, and both clubs confirmed on social media that the game had been abandoned. Wealdstone later tweeted that Nkrumah was in hospital and stable, thanking the medical staff at Scunthorpe United and paramedics for their support.

Enzio Boldewijn had given Wealdstone a sixth-minute lead, but Alfie Beestin's brilliant left-foot volley hauled the Iron level just past the half-hour mark. Danny Whitehall headed Scunthorpe into the lead just before the break, and Cal Roberts had a good chance to make the game safe before the injury to Nkrumah.
