Muamba was still in a “critical condition”
in intensive care Sunday after suffering
a cardiac arrest, a joint statement issued
by the club and the London Chest
Hospital said.
“As is normal medical practice, Fabrice
remains anaesthetised in intensive care
and will be for at least 24 hours,” the
statement added. “His condition
continues to be closely monitored by the
cardiac specialists at the hospital.”
The 23-year-old Kinshasa-born player
was rushed to hospital after harrowing
scenes towards the end of the first half
of an FA Cup quarter-final against
Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane
on Saturday, when the midfielder
slumped to the turf with no player near
him.
Sunday’s statement confirmed Muamba
had suffered a cardiac arrest but added
his heart had “eventually” started
working.
“He was admitted to the hospital
yesterday (Saturday) evening after
collapsing at White Hart Lane, where he
sustained a cardiac arrest during the FA
Cup Quarter Final against Tottenham
Hotspur,” the statement said.
“Fabrice received prolonged
resuscitation at the ground and on route
to the London Chest Hospital, where his
heart eventually started working.”
Bolton manager Owen Coyle added:
“Fabrice’s family have asked me to pass
on their thanks for the many, many kind
messages of support from not only
Bolton fans but also fans from clubs
across the country and abroad.
“All our thoughts and prayers are for
Fabrice and his family at this time. The
family would also like to thank the
media for respecting their privacy at
this time.”
Sunday’s statement was issued shortly
after 11am local time (1100GMT) and it
concluded by saying “no further
updates are planned at this time”.
