He is understood to have spent the night at Salford Royal as a precaution after complaining of feeling unwell at home in Oldham but is expected to return home on Wednesday. Hume has said he believed that Morgan should have been sent off. ''I pleaded with the referee to give me some protection. I could have died.'' Morgan was booked for the challenge during the match and there were suggestions he could be facing a lengthy ban. But an FA spokesman said: "When judging whether to take disciplinary action in this case, the FA has had to consider the challenge itself and not the outcome of it. "The FA has been given express direction from Fifa that we cannot upgrade yellow cards to red. "On this basis we can only bring additional charges in the most exceptional cases and only if it can be proved beyond doubt the actions of a player were a deliberate attempt to injure an opponent. "Having reviewed all available evidence in this case, including submissions made by Barnsley, there is no basis on which an additional charge could be brought." Hume, 25, was released from hospital after a week and had been recovering at home before being readmitted. After hearing the FA verdict, Barnsley indicated they would take the matter to court. A club statement said: "The FA's failure to act has let Iain Hume down badly and the only option now remaining is for recourse outside of the normal football processes." Whether Barnsley would have gone down the legal route had Morgan been banned is not known and the verdict may have hardened their resolve. However, they would have had stronger evidence for a civil case against Morgan if he had been punished.
