Black Stars defender John Paintsil has been discharged from the Ghana-Canada hospital at East Legon after being reportedly rushed there for collapsing Tuesday morning.
A source at the hospital told Accra based radio station, Joy FM that the footballer’s wife and some relatives rushed him to the hospital.
The cause of his ailment was not clear but the source said the player has been revived and discharged.
Paintsil is to sign a bond of good behavior at the Legon
Police Station, where he was arrested on charges of
assault and causing body harm to his wife and neighbour last Friday.
The police have said he will not face prosecution after the neighbour who lodged the complaint of assault expressed no interest in the case.
While
Paintsil, 31, one of the long-serving players of the Black Stars, will not
have to go to court, he is required to sign a bond at the Legon Police
Station to be of good behaviour, not just as a neighbour but
also a good husband.
The
decision by the complainant not to pursue the case further followed an
intervention by officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and
family members of both Paintsil and his wife, Richlove.
Mr Amoah Dankwah, the complainant on Monday told Graphic
Online there was no point in pressing
charges, particularly when the issues had been thrashed out.
The player has not returned to his Israeli club side, Hapoel
Tel-Aviv, after the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations due to an injury he
sustained during Ghana’s third place match against Mali in the
competition.
He is expected to return to Tel-aviv on Tuesday evening to continue his treatment.
