Collingwood goal sneak Kayle Kirby has been discharged from hospital this morning. 

Kirby had a frightening health scare while playing in the VFL on Saturday when he collapsed on the field and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance. 

It was later found that an irregular heartbeat caused the incident. 

Collingwood have not yet planned out Kirby's return to football and he won't be able to train in the immediate future until the medical staff have a confidence in his health.

Geoff Walsh also confirmed that Tim Broomhead's surgery on his broken leg was successful and there were no complications.
