Bolton player Fabrice Muamba collapsed last night in the middle of their FA Cup match against Tottenham. He was rushed to hospital and is still currently in a critically ill condition. Thoughts go out to him and his family/friends. Hopefully he can pull through :-\

It is such an unfortunate thing to happen so suddenly. Hopefully he can pull through this.

It is also good to see so many players showing so much support for Muamba.

Well he is still in intensive care and being monitored closely. Bolton released this statement regarding his health.

Quote"Fabrice Muamba remains in a critical condition in intensive care in the Heart Attack Centre at The London Chest Hospital.

"Fabrice was admitted to the hospital yesterday evening after collapsing at White Hart Lane, where he sustained a cardiac arrest during the FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur.

"Fabrice received prolonged resuscitation at the ground and on route to The London Chest Hospital, where his heart eventually started working.

"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. No further updates are planned at this time."

Bolton have also requested for their premier league game against Villa scheduled for Tuesday night be postponed, which Villa have agreed to.
