Ryder released from hospital

NEW Zealand cricketer Jesse Ryder has been released from a Christchurch hospital after almost a week recovering from serious head injuries.

Ryder, 28, was taken to hospital early last Thursday after two altercations outside a bar and fast-food restaurant in Merivale, a suburb of Christchurch. Two men have been charged with assault and are scheduled to appear in court today.

“He was thrilled to be back home, he just couldn’t wait. It’s been a hard week,” said Ryder’s manager Aaron Klee.
