Hearts defender Ismael Bouzid has been given the all clear after fears that he had fractured his skull in Saturdays' friendly against Millwall proved unfounded.
The Algerian international was stretchered off following a challenge in the 30th minute of the Gorgie side`s 3-2 win at the New Den.
He was taken to King's College Hospital in London and kept in overnight but tests revealed there is no fracture and the player will be able to travel back to Scotland later on Sunday with Hearts` head physio, Rob Marshall.
A club spokesperson told Hearts` official website: "We are obviously relieved to hear that Ismael's injury is not as bad as feared and we look forward to welcoming him home.
"We'd like to sincerely thank Millwall for their support - the club were absolutely first class in providing us with help during a very difficult situation over the last few hours for which we're really grateful."
