Roma goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg remains in hospital after Lucio clash

AS Roma goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg remains in hospital after clashing with Inter Milan defender Lucio.

The Dutch international lost consciousness for around 10 minutes and was stretchered off with a neck brace in the early moments of last night's 0-0 draw.

"There are no problems," assured director Walter Sabatini. "He had two stitches put in and will stay under observation for tonight, but he's fine.

"He made a brave run off his line and there was a collision, but fortunately nothing happened.

"Maarten will sleep here and return home tomorrow."
