Samuel Kalu is “fine” and only suffered a spell of dizziness, according to his teammate at French club Bordeaux.
Kalu collapsed on his own early during Sunday night’s Ligue 1 clash at Olympique Marseille.
He was attended to by medics, returned to the pitch before he was hauled off in the 14th minute.
Remy Oudin replaced Kalu and he has now said the Nigeria winger is in the clear.
“It gave us a bit of a chill and it’s still quite shocking,” he said.
“According to the doctor, it was just a dizzy spell.
“We’re happy for Kalu, everything is fine and that’s the most important thing,” he added.
“We inevitably thought about what happened with (Denmark midfielder Christian) Eriksen, the whole team and everyone was scared.”
Former Tottenham playmaker Eriksen collapsed in June when he suffered a cardiac arrest in the first half of Denmark’s Euro 2020 match against Finland.
