ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) - Senegal coach Aliou Cisse has been released from the hospital after a health scare following his team's 3-1 win over Cameroon in the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Senegalese soccer federation said Saturday that the 47-year-old Cisse was treated by medical staff for a "benign infectious pathology" and had been kept overnight for tests at a local hospital in Yamoussoukro following Friday's game.

"The tests are reassuring and he is back with his group," the federation said.

"He's doing well," Senegal team spokesperson Kara Thioune said.
