Gomis Collapses During Loss to Spurs

Wednesday, Mar. 4  

Spurs winger Nacer Chadli opened the scoring in the seventh minute of Swansea's trip to White Hart Lane, with Gomis collapsing in the wake of the goal. The South Wales Evening Post's Gareth Vincent, ESPN FC and the Premier League described the circumstances:

David Hytner of The Guardian later revealed Gomis' condition had quickly improved, and ESPN FC provided the club's report on his status:

The Frenchman has a concerning history of such incidents, per BBC Sport's Conor McNamara:

Garry Monk commented on Gomis' history with the illness, per Vincent: "It’s something we’re aware of. It’s part of his history, he has had all the medical checks. It's to do with low blood pressure. It’s something he has lived with all his life."

Monk also added what the next step will be for Gomis:

Gomis previously took to Twitter to provide an update on his status:

"

I Wanted to reassure you concerning my Health , it actually looks much more scary than physically dangerous and I am feeling well now. I have been under a great deal of stress and fatigue due to my father health that requires me to go back and forth to France. I was disappointed that I couldn't help my team tonight but now everything is back In order. I also want to thank everyone for their support and get Well messages. 

"

It was no doubt a scary scene, but fortunately it seems Gomis is ready for Swansea's final run of 10 Premier League matches.
