Ill Ireland cleared after tests

Manchester City duo Gareth Barry and Stephen Ireland
Ireland celebrates City's equaliser against Fulham with scorer Barry

Manchester City's Stephen Ireland has been given the all-clear after being taken to hospital following the 2-1 extra-time Carling Cup win over Fulham.

The 23-year-old was substituted in the 75th minute of Wednesday's victory at Eastlands after complaining of dizziness and feeling unwell.

However, precautionary tests revealed nothing was wrong with the midfielder.

Ireland is expected to resume training over the weekend in preparation for Monday's home game against West Ham.

A product of the club's academy, Ireland scored 13 goals for City last season and was named player of the year.

Kolo Toure scored his first goal for the club with nine minutes of extra time remaining to put City into the last 16 of the competition.

Gareth Barry headed home for City to cancel out Zoltan Gera's 25-yard screamer for Fulham.
