Muamba remains in critical condition

Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba is fighting for his life today as the footballing world hopes that the England under 21 midfielder recovers quickly. Muamba slumped to the surface in the 41st minute of an FA Cup match against Tottenham yesterday.

The match was abandoned by referee Howard Webb after the incident, that left supporters in shock.


“Fabrice received prolonged resuscitation at the ground and on route to The London Chest Hospital, where his heart eventually started working,” Sunday’s hospital statement said.


“As is normal medical practice, Fabrice remains anaesthetised in intensive care and will be for at least 24 hours. His condition continues to be closely monitored by the cardiac specialists at the hospital.”
