David Ospina is reportedly recovering well but still under medical observation after suffering a head trauma while playing for Napoli.

The Arsenal shot-stopper on loan in Italy was forced off on a stretcher to an ambulance after collapsing to the ground just before half time.

Ospina had collided with Udinese striker Ignacio Pussetto earlier in the match but had his head bandaged and continued playing for more than half an hour before collapsing.

Napoli's medical staff rushed onto the pitch to assist the keeper who was replaced by young Italian Alex Meret. Meanwhile Ospina's model wife Jesica Sterling joined him in the ambulance.

Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti added: "The doctor assessed him closely, then the conditions got worse. We trusted the evaluation of Dr. De Nicola, who rescued him.

"It is nothing serious - they did the tests and they turned out negative. He will have to stay in hospital tonight."
