Louth's John O'Brien is dejected as Eoghan O'Gara celebrates scoring his second goal for Dublin during the All-Ireland SFC qualifier at Croke Park - INPHO
Dublin full forward Eoghan O'Gara has been released from hospital after he swallowed his tongue in a club match last night.

O'Gara, who broke into the Dublin team this year and scored crucial goals in the championship wins over Louth (two) and Tyrone, suffered the injury after an accidental clash of heads during his club Templeogue Synge Street's Dublin SFC defeat to Ballymun Kickhams.

The injury occurred early in the second half and caused a 20-minute delay while O'Gara was treated on the pitch before being removed by ambulance to hospital. But after undergoing a CT scan, he was given the all-clear by doctors.
