The Bay winger suffered the serious leg injury on 14 minutes. Play was delayed, and then abandoned with Thomas still waiting for an ambulance.

But the Herne Bay wideman took to Twitter later on Saturday to post: “Thank you for all the messages. Alhumdulillah I’m back soon”

"He has had his surgery today [Monday, February 6] and now begins his long road to recovery.”

The Bay have confirmed that that there will be no entry fee for the rearranged league clash with the Hornets.

A new date for the Isthmian Premier fixture will be announced in due course.

Horsham return to action this Tuesday evening, when they travel to Herne Bay’s relegation rivals Corinthian-Casuals.
