Hume is understood to have spent the night at Salford Royal as a precaution after complaining of feeling unwell at home in Oldham.

The 25-year-old Canada international was released from hospital seven days ago and has since been recovering at home.

Barnsley confirmed in a statement on Tuesday that Hume was expecting to be back home again on Wednesday after spending a further night in hospital.

The statement said: "Iain Hume was readmitted to hospital yesterday complaining of feeling unwell.

"This is due to an infection and he has been prescribed a course of antibiotics.

"He will mostly likely spend tonight in hospital purely as a precaution and should be back home on Wednesday."

Hume was struck in the head by Sheffield United defender Chris Morgan's elbow during Barnsley's 2-1 home defeat to the Blades on November 8.

The former Leicester forward, signed by Barnsley for £1.2million in June, suffered internal bleeding and had emergency surgery after his condition later deteriorated.

Morgan, who left hometown club Barnsley for the Blades in July 2003, received a caution from referee Andy D'Urso following the incident. But Barnsley have submitted further video footage of the incident to the Football Association, who have confirmed they are still considering whether to take further action.
