Sunderland's Billy Jones discharged from hospital after suffering concussion

Billy Jones is yet to score for Sunderland this season

Sunderland defender Billy Jones has been discharged from hospital after he suffered a concussion in the Premier League draw with West Ham.

Jones was involved in a 90th-minute collision with Hammers defender Arthur Masuaku and left the field on a stretcher.

Black Cats boss David Moyes confirmed that Jones had hit his head on the ground during the incident and lost consciousness, and had been sent to hospital to be checked.

Sunderland announced on their official Twitter account on Saturday night that the 30-year-old had been given the all clear.

Sunderland drew 2-2 with West Ham at the Stadium of Light and remain bottom of the Premier League standings, nine points from safety.

Wahbi Khazri scored direct from a corner (26) and substitute Fabio Borini netted with his first touch (90) as the hosts cancelled out strikes from Andre Ayew (5) and James Collins (47) for the Hammers.

The encouraging performance will do little for Sunderland's survival bid though, with the Wearsiders left needing favours to avoid dropping into the Sky Bet Championship.
