A statement followed over the tannoy saying the game had been abandoned.
In a further update, the club confirmed Preston had suffered a significant ankle and was receiving treatment at hospital in Birmingham.

"After around ten minutes of the game, Matt suffered a significant ankle injury, leading to the abandonment of the fixture.
"He received immediate care at Aggborough before being taken to hospital in Birmingham where he’s undergoing scans and X-Rays.
"All our thoughts at this time are with Matt – we’ll provide fans with any further updates as and when they’re available."

Supporters were asked retain their tickets as these will remain valid for the re-arranged fixture.
