Inter Miami forward Germán Berterame has been discharged from the hospital after leaving Saturday's 1-0 win over CF Montreal in an ambulance.
Berterame collapsed onto the field after being hit in the head by Efraín Morales' elbow inside the box, requiring immediate medical intervention. Inter Miami's medical team rushed to the pitch, before signaling for the ambulance.
"Berterame is doing well," Inter Miami said in a statement on Sunday. "He was discharged from the hospital today and is returning home after spending the night under observation at Montreal General Hospital.
"He sustained injuries to his left shoulder and nose as a result of the hard blow he suffered during the match.
"He will begin the corresponding recovery process in the coming days under the supervision of the Club's medical staff. His progress will determine the timeline for his return to physical activity."
The update came after Inter Miami manager Guillermo Hoyos assured fans that the 27-year-old was recovering well.
"What happened to Germán was a very, very hard blow. Regarding the play, it's obvious there was an elbow, which is why a penalty was awarded, he fell like dead weight," Hoyos said after the game.
"I think he might have already been unconscious given the severity of the impact. He took that elbow and hit the ground hard, but thank God he is recovering well right now. He is conscious and his family is aware of everything and is calm. The most important thing is that he is okay, and he is okay now. It shook us all because we really didn't know what to do. It was a moment of great desperation and deep sadness, because it went beyond the result, the football, and all that; it's about human life, that's what matters most. So, we just hope everything turns out well."
Inter Miami resumed the match with a successful penalty attempt by Luis Suárez, which he celebrated by holding up the jersey of Berterame alongside his teammates.
Inter Miami won 1-0 over CF Montreal at Saputo Stadium, with new signing Casemiro making his debut for the Herons.
