With the score at 1-1, Sheridan fractured his fibula while landing from a header which required him to be taken to hospital by a dedicated ambulance crew present at the Leicester City training ground.
Without an additional ambulance crew present at the training ground, the remaining time in the fixture could not be fulfilled.
The Premier League has liased with both clubs and confirmed the result as a 1-1 draw.
Joe is in good spirits with his family and will be returning to London today to continue his recovery and to undergo further assessment of his injury.
Everyone at the club would like to thank the Leicester City medical staff, the paramedics present and NHS staff at Leicester Royal Infirmary.
The club also wishes Joe well in his recovery.
