MADRID, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Barcelona midfielder Deco was discharged from
hospital on Sunday after spending the night under observation after a blow to
the head during the Primera Liga match against city rivals Espanyol.
The 28-year-old Portugal international, who scored the opening goal in
Barca's 2-1 win, briefly lost consciousness after hitting his head colliding
with team mate Thiago Motta early in the second half.
Barcelona medical staff said he had made satisfactory progress and would
follow a special training plan before joining the rest of the squad during the
course of next week.
