"We send our regards to the person involved, their friends and family in really horrible circumstances.
"At times like this the whole football family rallies together and shows that it is more than just a game."
The match kicked off early at 12.30pm on Saturday as it was scheduled to avoid any clash with a potential England World Cup clash. It was initially paused in the sixth minute to allow a medical team to help with the situation.
But the match was stopped again five minutes later and the decision was taken to abandon the fixture 50 minutes later, at around 1.30pm.
