Cork City's Brian Lenihan has been discharged from hospital after suffering concussion in last night's 2-0 defeat to Bohemian at Dalymount Park.
The defender fell awkwardly during the second half - after which he lost consciousness and medical staff attended to him on the pitch for an extended period. The injury resulted in an additional 13 minutes time at the end of the 90.
A scan has shown that the defender has not suffered any serious injury.
The Leesiders hope to have Lenihan available for selection again within two weeks. The 20 year old is highly rated and has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent months.
Cork City have released a statement, saying:
“Cork City FC are pleased to confirm that Brian Lenihan has been discharged from hospital in Dublin.
