David Ospina latest: On-loan Arsenal goalkeeper discharged from hospital and given all clear after collapsing during Napoli match
David Ospina has been discharged from hospital and given the all clear after collapsing on the pitch during Napoli’s Serie A match against Udinese on Sunday.
The goalkeeper, on loan at the Italian club from Arsenal, fell to the ground two minutes before half-time, having suffered a head injury in a clash with Udinese’s Ignacio Pussetto earlier in the match.

Ospina came off after this collision
Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti later indicated that Ospina, 30, was recovering, the player having been given a CAT scan which came back all clear and then stayed in hospital overnight for observation.
On Monday afternoon, the club confirmed Ospina was now set for some rest and would not be joining up with Colombia during the international break.
“David Ospina was discharged this afternoon from the Pineta Grande Clinic where he had been hospitalised last night for a series of investigations and specialist visits. All tests are negative,” a statement from Napoli on the official club website read.

“Visits excluded any problems. The diagnosis is of vagal crisis [fainting] resolved within a few hours.
“The player has been advised a few days off and will not respond to the call-up of his national team.”
Ospina is on a season-long loan in Naples and reports suggest he is poised to sign a full-time deal with the Italian club.
Udinese had pulled back from two goals down to level the match when Ospina was forced off. Later goals from Arkadiusz Milik and Dries Mertens gave Napoli a 4-2 win as they continue to chase runaway Serie A leaders Juventus.
Napoli boss Ancelotti welcomed the positive update on Ospina.
He said on Twitter: “I’ve been visiting David and he’s fine. We expect him soon at Castel Volturno.”

Sol Campbell EXCLUSIVE: Macclesfield Town boss on crying after League Two survival, emotional torture, and going unpaid for two months
Macclesfield Town were dead and buried before Sol Campbell took over the reins last November. It would be hard to provide an argument to counter that statement.
It’s safe to say the former England and Arsenal defender is one of football’s most misunderstood characters.
That’s probably one of the reasons why he had to wait so long to get his first break in management – something he has grasped with both hands.
Campbell’s passion for the game is immense, and after many unsuccessful attempts to land a job in the Football League, his luck turned when he landed the Macclesfield gig in late 2018.

Campbell worked wonders to keep Macclesfield in the Football League when they seemed destined for relegation
That is of course, if you class a position with the EFL’s basement club – as they were then – a ‘lucky’ break. They were seven points adrift of safety in League Two after all.
On May 5, the final day of the regular season, it was mission accomplished for Campbell – Macclesfield had completed a miraculous survival.
A run of just two defeats in their last ten games proved critical as the Silkmen successfully fought off relegation, finishing three points clear of second-bottom Notts County.
So after that rollercoaster season you’d probably be expected Campbell to be rewarded with a new and improved contract or even just handed sufficient funds in a bid to try and take the club forward?
Think again.
Campbell has been to hell and back during his six-month tenure to date at Moss Rose; player revolts, unpaid wages, a lack of communication with the board – you name it.
Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT, Campbell – who we can reveal hasn’t been paid by the club in over two months – underlined just how ‘difficult’ his spell at Macclesfield has been to date.
“The early days in particular were very, very difficult. Coming into this environment I had to deal with a lot of things,” he explained. “There was no structure and cohesion and absolutely no foundations in place.
The games that secured Macclesfield's survival
Campbell's side lost just two of their final ten League Two matches to finish three points clear of the drop and stay in the Football League
Yeovil 0-2 MACCLESFIELD
MACCLESFIELD 2-2 Stevenage
Lincoln City 1-1 MACCLESFIELD
MACCLESFIELD 1-1 Morecambe
MACCLESFIELD 3-2 Exeter
Forest Green 2-0 MACCLESFIELD
Northampton 3-1 MACCLESFIELD
MACCLESFIELD 0-0 Newport
Port Vale 0-1 MACCLESFIELD
MACCLESFIELD 1-1 Cambridge
“When I rocked up I was fighting so many fires – behind the scenes it was non-stop drama.”
Despite suggestions otherwise, Campbell was up for the fight. He lives and breathes football after all.
He added: “People were thinking to themselves that this was too lowly a position for me… so can he roll his sleeves up? Does he know the league?
“Does he really want to be here as he’s used to the plush conditions that he was accustomed to as a professional footballer? The answer to that was, yes.
“What these people don’t realise is my upbringing was quite rough already. I was prepared to look past those things and roll my sleeves up, as it’s all about football for me.
The 44-year-old has been pushed to his absolute limits in this job.
“I had to start putting the foundations in place – and win football matches at the same time,” he explained.
“That is as well as closing the gap behind us and the other sides fighting relegation.

Spurs target Ryan Sessegnon reportedly tells Fulham he wants to leave
“I started crying after we stayed up. This job has taken so much out of me, emotionally and physically. I was crying with relief, really.
“I’ve almost been like a psychologist, as well as a football manager. I’ve had to guide these players and inspire them, but get inside their brains as well. It was my responsibility – I had to do all that by myself.
“Almost every single player at the club needed to be rebuilt – mentally, emotionally and football wise.
“I had to give these lads the belief that they could be somebody. And then you have the fans, they don’t really know me so draw their own conclusions – I’m new in management after all.
“We had to be well prepared, because if we hadn’t of done that we wouldn’t be in the league now – it’s as simple as that.”
So how did Campbell deal with issues like unpaid wages at the club? Did it have a big impact on his job?
“The whole situation completely stripped me down to be quite honest,” he admitted.

Campbell had to solve things on the pitch while fighting against numerous issues off it
“I just had to be honest with the guys – all that was left was football.
“We all needed each other and I understood the players’ grievances and anger. At the same time I had to remind them that their reputations were on the line: ‘Do you want to get relegated? Who wants that on their CV?’
“People don’t realise how much it takes to pick these players up, players who aren’t getting paid and because of it are more than likely getting a hard time at home.
“You can’t do that to human beings – it’s emotional torture. If they are struggling at home with it all, that’s obviously going to affect the player as well.”
He continued: “It doesn’t matter if it’s one pound or a thousand pounds. In the end it comes down to principle and respect. Forget the amount… it’s how you’ve been treated.
“If you treat people the right way then they’ll show you that same respect back. I don’t know if respect is being fed through the club at the moment – I really don’t.”

Campbell, who revealed the Macclesfield squad were a ‘whisker’ away from boycotting games due to the financial crisis, said he still has a relationship with the club’s owner.
“I need to have a real conversation with him,” Campbell continued.
“What is the playing budget for next season? Are we going to sort the pitch out? Where are we going to train next season? What’s going on with staff wages?
“The players need answers, so do the fans and so do I. Only then you can start planning for the future and getting your structure in place.
“I don’t know when I’ll get these answers though. I’m very flexible.
“If we can stay up with no budget last season then surely we could do something different next season? But don’t make it hard for the sake of being hard.
“It’s hard enough playing against other opposition – it’s almost like we’re self-harming ourselves. Let’s build for a bright future – that’s what’s it’s all about.
“Who knows what the future holds but all I do know is I want to leave this club in the best possible position I can when I do eventually move on.”
Despite all the hurdles Campbell has faced in his short managerial spell to date, he has no regrets and says he’d still join Macclesfield if he went back in time and had to make the choice again.
And he has no plan to quit anytime soon, either.
“It’s so hard to get a job in football, so why would I just throw it away like that,” he declared.
“I’ve worked damn hard to get into this position and I don’t want to just give it away. That isn’t me – I’m not that type of person.
“I’m not giving up on Macclesfield. I’ll make it work, whatever way I have to.

Campbell’s work at Moss Rose has been lauded – and he has no intention of quitting on the club
“But don’t take loyalty for weakness. Some people in this world work for free for the love of the game. And that isn’t right.”
And moving forward?
“There’s tons of work to do at this football club, we need to make improvements all over the place,” Campbell admitted.
“We can’t have a smoking mirrors situation again. I need to get things organised at the end of the day.
“I don’t want to embarrass my contacts saying I’m doing this and that, but then it never happens.
“I want to do a proper job with Macclesfield, but I need to know what is going on.”

Tottenham and Liverpool fans have been warned about criminals posing as stewards in an attempt to steal their Champions League final tickets.
“The Spanish police have seized fake steward bibs, fake devices for the technical ticket check, as well as fake accreditations,” said a statement from European football’s governing body.
“This makes us believe that an organised group of people, impersonating genuine stewards or officials might try to act as if they were conducting the visual or technical ticket check, with the aim of stealing tickets during such controls.
“Supporters should therefore make sure they only show their tickets at the clearly marked check zones and not to individuals or small groups of people who could be wearing fake bibs and might approach them on the way to the stadium, outside of the official check zones.”

And although he wasn’t on the scoresheet against Arsenal, Silva stressed the whole team performed well but gave a special mention to Calvert-Lewin.

Speaking after the game, Silva said on Calvert-Lewin: “He’s growing, he’s developing and it’s my job to help him keep developing as a football player and he had a very good game.
“All of them did well but Dominic is just enjoying what he’s doing.
“He’s working hard to do what I ask him because it’s not an easy thing to be our main man [up front] but he’s working hard and achieving some things in each match.
“He’s improving each match and he’s doing everything that I want.”
