Khedira released from hospital

REAL Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has been released from hospital after spending a night under observation due to a concussion sustained in Tuesday’s Copa del Rey game against Cornella.

Khedira collided with Cornella midfielder David Garcia shortly after halftime at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid and after playing on for a few minutes the German international had to come off and was replaced by Jese.

“After neurological tests conducted today on Sami Khedira ... the player has been released,” the European champion said on its website on yesterday.

It did not specify if he would be out of action for any length of time.

Holder Real won the last-32, second leg game against the third-tier minnow 5-0 for a 9-1 aggregate victory.

Its next outing is a La Liga match at home to Celta Vigo on Saturday when it will be seeking to maintain its two-point lead over Barcelona. Real is on a club-record win streak of 17 games stretching back to September when it lost 1-2 to league champion Atletico Madrid.
