UEFA president Michel Platini has been released from hospital after collapsing in a Johannesburg restaurant on Friday evening.

Platini has been suffering from flu for the last few days and UEFA denied claims that the 55-year-old had a heart attack.

FIFA and UEFA said in a joint statement: "Michel Platini, UEFA president, was released at 9am this morning from the hospital in Johannesburg where he was admitted last night after feeling unwell.

"All the medical tests conducted were normal and Mr Platini is looking forward to attending the final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup tomorrow in Soccer City stadium."

However, an eye witness told Sky Sports News: "He was right beside me and I carried out CPR. Apparently he had some heart problems and was not breathing. I carried out mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and he started breathing again. He was taken to hospital 20 minutes later."
