Glenn Murray was injured in the first 10 minutes of Saturday's game

Brighton striker Glenn Murray has been discharged from hospital after suffering a concussion in his side's victory at Newcastle.

The 35-year-old clashed heads with Magpies defender Federico Fernandez.

The match was stopped for eight minutes before Murray was taken off on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask.

"As most saw, he was [knocked] out and so what will happen is now, of course, we will do the appropriate things this week," said manager Chris Hughton.

"But he's had everything that he's needed to have, the correct quick scans and so on, and everything is fine so it will just be a question now of recovering, but he'll obviously be sore for a while.

"From where we were, we had no idea. We knew what had happened, that there had been a collision, but we had no idea of any other details.

"But when you see the players as distressed as they were, then it makes you even a little bit more concerned."
