Mark Cavendish has been discharged from the hospital where he was convalescing from a collapsed lung incurred in a track cycling crash and is back home in England, according to Belgian media.

Cavendish rides for Belgian team Deceuninck Quick-Step and was left with two broken ribs and a collapsed lung last Sunday when crashing at the popular track event, the Six Days of Ghent.

“The collapsed lung developed very positively and he was able to leave the University Hospital,” daily newspaper Het Nieuwsblad said on Thursday.

The report said Cavendish’s wife had driven the 36-year-old Manxman back to their home in Essex.
