Essendon coach James Hird will spend Monday night in hospital after a falling from his bicycle while riding home from training.

Hird suffered what club doctor Bruce Reid described as "severe concussion," but has been cleared of any fractures.

"James was very fortunate he was wearing a helmet which has braced his fall," Reid said in a statement released by the Bombers.

"He has suffered severe concussion however X-rays have cleared him of any fractures."

"James will remain in hospital for ongoing observation and following a review we hope he will be discharged soon."

The Bombers will make further comment on Tuesday.
