Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti later indicated that Ospina, 30, was recovering, the player having been given a CAT scan which came back all clear and then stayed in hospital overnight for observation.
On Monday afternoon, the club confirmed Ospina was now set for some rest and would not be joining up with Colombia during the international break.

“Visits excluded any problems. The diagnosis is of vagal crisis [fainting] resolved within a few hours.
“The player has been advised a few days off and will not respond to the call-up of his national team.”
Ospina is on a season-long loan in Naples and reports suggest he is poised to sign a full-time deal with the Italian club.
Udinese had pulled back from two goals down to level the match when Ospina was forced off. Later goals from Arkadiusz Milik and Dries Mertens gave Napoli a 4-2 win as they continue to chase runaway Serie A leaders Juventus.
Napoli boss Ancelotti welcomed the positive update on Ospina.
He said on Twitter: “I’ve been visiting David and he’s fine. We expect him soon at Castel Volturno.”
