SCUNTHORPE have had a second National League clash in the same week abandoned after a stricken star was carried off on a stretcher.
The club’s Saturday battle against Wealdstone was ended before the final whistle due to a horror injury sustained by Daniel Nkrumah.
The Wealdstone star went down in the 85th minute after a collision in Scunthorpe’s box.
At the 90th minute, Nkrumah was still down receiving treatment as the game received 11 minutes of added time.
But it took a further 13 minutes before the ace was finally stretchered off the field to rapturous applause.
And the game never restarted following Nkrumah’s setback, with Wealdstone confirmed 20 minutes after his exit that the match had been abandoned.
They tweeted: “We can confirm that today’s fixture between Wealdstone and Scunthorpe United has been abandoned following a lengthy suspension whilst Daniel Nkrumah received medical treatment.”
Wealdstone then provided an update on the star after he was taken to hospital.
It read: “Daniel Nkrumah is now in hospital and stable.
“Thank you to the medical staff at Scunthorpe United and the paramedics for their support.”
