Clermont wing Ezeala to be released from hospital
By Peter Thompson
Samuel Ezeala is to be released from hospital after scans showed the Clermont Auvergne wing was not seriously injured in Sunday's Top 14 hammering by Racing.
There were concerns for the 18-year-old debutant when he was floored with a head injury attempting to tackle Virimi Vakatawa.
Ezeala's head took the full impact of Vakatawa, running at full tilt, and he was knocked out during the leaders' 58-6 victory.
The teenager was treated on the field while officials held a white sheet up so he was out of view before he was carried off on a stretcher.
Clermont confirmed later on Sunday that he had regained consciousness and offered a positive update on Monday.
The club posted a picture on their Twitter account with the player giving a thumbs up in Beaujon Hospital, where he will be kept in under surveillance on Monday and should be discharged on Tuesday.

The cupboard may be a bit stretched in the elite coaching dept...not to mention trophies.
Go to commentsI agree that I'm fitting it into a new context that might be original and/or hard for others to follow 👍
Razor has constantly choked on this tour refusing to back unproven players. There is something mentally wrong with this thought process, it's been proven(!!), that I'm happy to fit it under the same umbrella.
Would have been more accurate baloney for me to say Farrell choked, rather than specifically target Ireland in general 😁
