Olympiakos striker Michael Olaitan collapsed during the first half of a 3-0 defeat by Athens rivals Panathinaikos in the Greek superleague.
The Nigerian under 20 striker, 21, was running off the ball when he fell to the ground.
Olaitan, who helped Olympiakos beat Manchester United 2-0 on 25 February, regained consciousness before being taken to hospital for tests and is now confirmed to be in a stable condition.
"I am pleased to inform everyone that after initial tests there is no sign of a serious medical condition," Olaitan's representative Paschalis Tountouris said..
"What appears to have happened is that Michael had a mild case of viral myocarditis. As a precautionary measure he will remain in hospital for the next few days to undergo further tests.
"The game was goalless when Olaitan collapsed but Olympiakos, the runaway league leaders, fell behind just before half-time and eventually lost 0-3.
