Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis is "ready to go" after collapsing on the White Hart Lane pitch and could feature against Liverpool on Monday night.
Gomis slumped to the ground during the early stages of his side’s 3-2 defeat at Tottenham on March 4.
The 29-year-old left the pitch on a stretcher and wearing an oxygen mask following several minutes of treatment and spent the night under observation in a London hospital.
However, Gomis, who suffers from a vasovagal condition which prompts low blood pressure and fainting episodes, returned to training on Wednesday after visiting a specialist he sees regularly in his native France.
Swansea manager Gary Monk says the issue is not as serious as it might appear from the outside despite admitting it could happen again in the future.
"Bafe knows better than anyone what measures to take to help him," Monk said.
"I understand there are questions people want answered but the issue is not as big for Bafe and the people at the club.
"He has lived with it his whole life, it happens occasionally and when it does so in a public place that scrutiny comes with it.
"But he has trained as normal this week and does the same as every player, and if you look at his life there are more days when he has been fine rather than when something has happened."
Gomis joined Swansea from Lyon last summer and had fainted on a number of occasions during his time in French football.
Monk revealed Gomis had an episode earlier this season - "he did not pass out but he had a dizzy spell, we sat him down for five minutes and then he resumed training" - but he said Swansea had conducted all the necessary medical checks before signing the France international.
"A lot of players have different issues and you do all the general checks, if there is a articular issue that can flare up you investigate it," Monk said.
"Then you make your decision and that is what happened. Everyone was open about it and nothing was hidden.
"We made all the possible checks and he has been passed fit by numerous specialists who are top of their field.
"That is reassuring for Bafe and for us and he went back to France after the Spurs game to see a specialist he has used his whole life to reaffirm everything.
"These instances do happen from time to time as his history shows but Bafe is fine and ready to go."
