Bolton star Muamba still faces long recovery

Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba will still face a long period of recovery, as there still remains no suggestion regarding whether or not the former Arsenal player will return to football.

Muamba slumped to the ground with cardiac arrest during last week's FA Cup game against Tottenham, and a family statement read:  "Even though Fabrice has made great progress he is still in intensive care.


"He still has a long period of recovery ahead. He has asked that you please keep him in your prayers."
