Torres released from hospital

The football world can now heave a sigh of relief after the Athletico veteran was discharged after a night following his sickening collision with Alex Bergantinos

Atletico Madrid confirmed Fernando Torres has been discharged from hospital after tests showed he did not suffer any serious head damage in Thursday's 1-1 draw at Deportivo.
The unsuspecting striker took a blow to the back of the head and went limp in the air before landing flat on his face, unconscious.
A cranial and cervical CT [computed tomography scan] confirmed that Torres had not suffered any permanent traumatic injuries, though he will sit out physical activity for the next 48 hours as a precaution.

“All is okay," he reassured. "I thank my team-mates from Atletico and Depor for their reaction yesterday and also the fans for all the support that came from social media.
"It was a scare but I’m counting the hours left to getting back to work with my mates again. In two or three days, I'll be back to training again.
“I remember all until the moment before the collision. I experienced a similar situation with Spain several years ago. I recovered consciousness in the ambulance. I thank all the doctors and hospital staff for their attention.
