Eastbourne Borough defender Alex Finney is awaiting the results of tests after a serious knee injury he suffered forced his side's National League South game with Truro City to be abandoned.

The 27-year-old defender went down in the Borough penalty area after 58 minutes and an ambulance was called.

The Sussex club say Finney is "in a stable condition in hospital, awake, talking and laughing with staff".

"He's awaiting results of x-rays and further tests," they added on X.

The score in the game, being played at Gloucester City's Meadow Park ground because of the condition of the pitch at Truro's temporary home at Taunton Town, was 0-0 when it was abandoned.

No decision on whether it will be replayed has yet been taken.

Due to a series of postponements for Truro over the winter, the Cornish side still have 13 games to play between now and the scheduled end of the season on 20 April.
