Manchester City midfielder Stephen Ireland has been given the all-clear despite being hospitalised following Wednesday's Carling Cup win over Fulham.

The 23-year-old midfielder was sent for precautionary tests after complaining of dizziness and feeling unwell when substituted in the second half of City's 2-1 third-round victory.

"Stevie Ireland is back home after being taken to hospital following last night's Carling Cup win over Fulham," read a club statement.

"The reigning player of the season was substituted and taken for precautionary checks after complaining of dizziness and feeling unwell.

"Tests were carried out and he was given the all-clear.

"He is expected to rest today (Thursday) and resume training at the weekend for the visit of West Ham on Monday night."
