Everton defender Cuco Martina will travel back to Merseyside on Thursday after being released from hospital after suffering an injury in the 3-0 Europa League loss at Lyon.

Martina landed awkwardly following an aerial challenge with Maxwel Cornet just prior to half-time and was treated on the pitch for several minutes before being carried off on a stretcher and wearing a neck brace.

He had initially been expected to stay in hospital overnight, but Everton later sent out a message on their official Twitter feed which said he had been discharged.

Update: Cuco Martina has been released from hospital and will travel back home with the squad.
