Fernando Torres was hospitalised after being involved in a collision late in Atletico Madrid's 1-1 draw at Deportivo La Coruna on Thursday.

Initial tests showed no signs of any serious spine or head injuries after Torres collided with Depor's Alex Bergantinos while jumping for the ball in the 84th minute, and the club released a statement on Friday morning saying he would undergo further tests but had spent "a good night" in hospital.

Torres' head slammed into the ground upon landing before players and medical staff rushed to his aide. After being attended to for five minutes, he left the pitch on a stretcher that carried him to a waiting ambulance, which transported him to a local hospital.

Atletico released a statement soon after the game ended that said: "Fernando Torres has suffered a traumatic head injury and has been transferred to hospital for tests.

"Our player, who is stable, suffered a heavy blow to the head in the final stretch of the match and had to be removed by ambulance quickly to a hospital. The Rojiblanco striker will spend the night under observation."
