Gomis collapses during Tottenham game, Swansea confirm he is 'stable' image

There was concern at White Hart Lane on Wednesday as Swansea's Bafetimbi Gomis appeared to collapse on the pitch during the Premier League game against Tottenham, before his club confirmed he is "stable".

The incident happened just after Tottenham had taken the lead in the seventh minute through Nacer Chadli.

As the players reconvened to kick-off, the French striker was seen on the floor and medical personnel from both sides quickly rushed to the scene.

The striker was put on oxygen and, thankfully, was awake as he was carried from the pitch on a stretcher.  

Swansea tweeted at half-time with an update: "We can confirm that @BafGomis is in a stable condition following the earlier incident at White Hart Lane tonight."

Gomis has had a history of fainting during the past, including an incident while on international duty in October 2009 when he was at Lyon.
