The French striker collapsed in the early stages of his team's 3-2 defeat and was treated by medical staff for several minutes before being taken off on a stretcher.

He was taken to hospital for tests after needing oxygen on the pitch.

The former Olympique Lyonnais striker had suffered incidents of fainting before in his career, one during a training session with the French national team in 2009.

Swansea manager Garry Monk confirmed at the time that Gomis was taken to hospital as a precaution.

"Bafetimbi Gomis is fine. He went to hospital as a precaution but he is fine. That's the main thing," he said.

It is not yet known whether he will be fit to face Liverpool in the Premier League on Monday.
