Sunderland forward Fabio Borini has been released from hospital following the Black Cats 2-2 draw with Cardiff. 

"The doctor called me," said manager Gus Poyet, according to the BBC. "He is not going to fly back with us, he will stay down here overnight, but he has been released from hospital."

Borini fell ill at halftime of Saturday's game and was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.

The 22-year-old was replaced by Steven Fletcher for the beginning of the second half.
