Chelsea midfielder Oscar is out of the hospital following a heavy collision with an opponent during a Premier League game that left the Brazil international with a swollen face.

Oscar was injured about 15 minutes into the 0-0 draw at Arsenal on Sunday when goalkeeper David Ospina collided with him. The midfielder continued playing after treatment, but was substituted at half-time and taken to the hospital to have some scans.

Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, said yesterday that Oscar "went immediately to his house yesterday night" from the hospital and slept at home.

Asked if Oscar had sustained a concussion during the collision, Mourinho said: "I'm not sure of that. We saw his face was swelling at half-time, we don't want to go for any risks. We made that decision."

Mourinho said Oscar will be travelling with the rest of the Chelsea squad for tomorrow's match at Leicester, but didn't confirm whether he was available to play.
