Fadiga fainted while warming-up prior to Bolton game with Tottenham

LONDON, England -- Bolton Wanderers midfielder Khalilou Fadiga will visit a heart specialist in Belgium after fainting before a League Cup match on Wednesday.

The Senegal international, who underwent surgery to correct an abnormal heartbeat in May, was given the all-clear after being taken to hospital.

He collapsed during the warm-up before the 4-3 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur.

"We have put him on a plane to his specialist in Belgium," Bolton manager Sam Allardyce told his club's website.

"Khalilou came out all-clear from the hospital but as a precautionary measure we have sent him to his surgeon to check him over and give us an opinion.

"It is too early to link his fainting to the heart problems. The specialist who knows the full case history can sort it out."

Fadiga, 29, has made only one substitute appearance for Bolton since joining them in September.
