JOHN FLECK has been discharged from hosptial, it has been confirmed.
The Scot collapsed during Sheffield United's Championship clash against Reading last night.
Jayden Bogle grabbed United’s winner but the match was overshadowed by the second-half incident when Fleck went down apparently unchallenged, with his team-mates quickly indicating for the medics to run on the pitch to tend to him.
He was stretchered off the field and taken straight to Royal Berkshire.
This morning we updated you with news that the Scotland internationalist, 30, was conscious and talking.
Now, Sheffield United have confirmed he has been discharged from hospital after extensive medical examinations.
A tweet from the Blades reads: "Sheffield United is grateful to report that John Fleck has been discharged from hospital and will return to Sheffield today (Wednesday).
Sheffield United is grateful to report that John Fleck has been discharged from hospital & will return to Sheffield today.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
