MADRID: Doctors have discharged Barcelona striker David Villa from hospital after he was treated for kidney stone pain, his club said yesterday.

“David Villa has been discharged from hospital,” a short statement from the club’s medical team read.

Villa, 31, was first taken into hospital on Monday after having played 90 minutes in a league match for only the second time.

He was allowed home on Tuesday before being readmitted on Thursday due to “persistent pain caused by nephritic colic”, a condition caused by kidney stones, the club said late on Thursday.
