Monk insists Swansea striker Gomis is absolutely fine after another fainting episode

Bafetimbi Gomis has a history of fainting and is in no danger according to Swansea City manager Garry Monk.

The Swans striker collapsed at White Hart Lane early in his side's eventual 3-2 loss to Tottenham but it is something that has occurred previously in his career.

Gomis suffers from a long-term vasovagal condition and simply has to deal with the fallout whenever something like this transpires according to Monk.

"We're all well aware of it," he said. "He's had every single medical check that you can possibly have, and he's fine. It's just part of his life."

Gomis, 29, also suffered from the low blood pressure ailment during his time with French club Lyon.
