Accrington Stanley defender Zak Vyner has been taken to hospital after suffering an asthma attack during the game against Yeovil Town.

The 19-year-old, who is on loan at the League Two club from Bristol City, was given treatment by the club's physio Paul Caton and given an inhaler. He was then put on a stretcher in the first half, according to the club's Twitter account.

Accrington later tweeted: "INJURY UPDATE: Zak Vyner has had an asthma attack and has gone to hospital - John Coleman hopes it's just a precautionary measure."

The game ended 1-1 with Rommy Boco equalising in injury time after Otis Khan had given Yeovil the lead.

Coleman told the club's website: "The first diagnosis is it was an asthma attack. He's been sent to hospital but we're hoping it is precautionary.
