Huddersfield defender Tommy Smith has been discharged from hospital after suffering a head injury during Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Leeds.

The 22-year-old was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary after being knocked unconscious following a heavy collision with team-mate Joe Murphy in the build-up to United's winner.

That prompted a near 10-minute delay in the game as Smith was treated on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher and airlifted to hospital.

Huddersfield confirmed on Saturday evening that Smith was in a stable condition but would be kept in hospital overnight under observation.

The Championship club revealed the news on social media: "Tommy Smith has been discharged and is now home,” a statement read.

“Huddersfield Town FC is looking forward to seeing him back in action once he gets the full all-clear."
