Barcelona defender Gerard
Pique has been given the all-clear after being taken to hospital
as a precaution following a heavy clash during Tuesday's
Champions League semi-final, second leg against Chelsea.
"Gerard Pique underwent various tests which ruled out any
injury," Barca said in a statement on their website after the Spain international collided
with team mate Victor Valdes in the 17th minute.
"The player will remain under observation until Wednesday,"
the club added.
Pique played on until the 25th minute before signalling he
could not continue and was replaced by Daniel Alves as holders
Barca were eliminated 3-2 on aggregate.
