After the news that Bolton Wanderers' game against Blackburn this Saturday would go ahead, there was the good news that Bolton's doctor Jonathan Tobin confirmed Fabrice Muamba had been able to recount the events at White Hart Lane last Saturday.
"I'm glad to say that the early signs of recovery have continued. I went to see Fabrice last night. I went in and he said: 'Hi, doc.' I asked him how he was and he said: 'Fine.'
Tobin said the player had asked him what had happened. "I explained to him what had happened," he said. "That's the sort of level of communication I have had with Fabrice."
Tobin said that medics tried unsuccessfully to revive Muamba for 48 minutes before he arrived at the London chest hospital and that it then took another 30 minutes before Muamba's heart started beating again, having received 15 shocks. It had been stopped for two hours, raising fears of significant brain damage, even if Muamba survived. "In effect, he was dead in that time," said Tobin.

An update on Sunday at 11.10am has been given on the condition of Fabrice Muamba, who collapsed on the pitch during Bolton Wanderers' FA Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
The statement, issued jointly by Bolton and the London Chest hospital, has confirmed that the midfielder suffered a "cardiac arrest" during the game. "Fabrice remains in a critical condition having sustained a cardiac arrest," the statement said. Prolonged attempts to resuscitate him on the pitch and in the ambulance en route to the hospital managed to get Muamba's heart working. He remains "anaesthetised in intensive care and closely monitored by medical staff" where he will stay for at least the next 24 hours. 
(A situação vivida por Fabrice Muamba, pode ser traduzida  sem ironia como: .... o jogador de futebol, como  empregado é o mais bem assistido em todo o mundo. Tem à beira do campo, médico, enfermeiro, fisioterapeuta, psicólogo, etc.)
The full statement read: "Fabrice Muamba remains in a critical condition in intensive care in the Heart Attack Centre at the London Chest hospital.
"He 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.
"Fabrice received prolonged resuscitation at the ground and en route to the London Chest hospital, where his heart eventually started working.
"As is normal practice, Fabrice remains anaesthetised in intensive care and will be for at least 24 hours. His condition continues to be closely monitored by cardiac specialists at the hospital."
Muamba's family visited the former England Under-21 international today and, together with his club, have thanked fans and members of the public for their messages of support. Owen Coyle, Bolton's manager who has been at the hospital with his chairman, Phil Gartside, said the player is in "all our thoughts and prayers".
The Tottenham manager, Harry Redknapp, said in a statement on the Spurs website: "All our thoughts are with Fabrice, his family, Owen Coyle and the club. It was the right decision to abandon the game, everybody was in a state of shock and it wouldn't have been right to carry on. Football is the last thing on anyone's mind when an awful situation such as this happens. All we are thinking about now is Fabrice and his family."
Tottenham's chairman, Daniel Levy, paid tribute to the clubs' medical staff and supporters. "We are immensely proud and grateful to the medical teams at both clubs, their response was immediate and professional," he said. "Our thanks also to both sets of fans for their support and behaviour. Too often we read the negatives about football and yet last night, at a time of intense emergency and uncertainty, we saw the true humanity and empathy of the footballing family."
The Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, has added his voice to those expressing their concern for the player. "Shocked to hear about Fabrice Muamba," he said. "My thoughts are with him and his family, his club & loved ones at this difficult time."
No further updates on the player's status are planned for to>>>>>>

Futebol inglês teve momento dramático neste sábado. Um atleta cai em campo com convulsão e está hospitalizado...

Atleta do Bolton cai desfalecido em campo na Inglaterra

O futebol inglês vive um drama neste sábado, desde que o meio-campista congolês Fabrice Muamba, do Bolton, teve um mal súbito na partida diante do Tottenham, no White Hart Lane, pelas quartas de final da Copa da Inglaterra. De acordo com a imprensa inglesa, os médicos já encontraram ele sem respirar e fizeram de tudo para animá-lo. O incidente ocorreu por volta das 18h13 pelo horário local (15h13) em Brasília, e, até uma hora depois, não havia informações sobre o sucesso na tentativa de ressuscitá-lo.
Ele caiu no campo do White Hart Lane aos 41 minutos do primeiro tempo de jogo e rapidamente foi cercado por companheiros e adversários, que perceberam que algo grave acontecia. Seis médicos logo entraram em campo e tentaram reanimar o jogador usando respiração boca a boca, massagem cardíaca e desfibriladores. O atendimento durou cerca de dez minutos, até que Muamba foi retirado de maca e levado a um hospital.
Enquanto isso, os torcedores dos dois times revezavam momentos de silêncio extremo com cânticos em homenagem ao jogador. Atletas dos dois times choravam e revezavam em campo. Em conversa com o trio de arbitragem, os dois capitães afirmaram que não havia mais a mínima condição de continuar a partida, motivo pela qual ela foi dada como suspensa, com o placar de 1 a 1.
Fabrice Muamba, de 23 anos, foi formado nas categorias de base do Arsenal, onde jogou até os 18 anos de idade. De lá seguiu para o Birmingham City, onde jogou por duas temporadas, sendo sempre titular. Foi contratado pelo Bolton em 2008 e ali também manteve a regularidade, participando de praticamente todos os jogos da equipe no Campeonato Inglês desde então. Nesta temporada, havia sido titular em 18 partidas.
Mesmo tendo nascido na República Democrática do Congo, antigo Zaire, Muamba defendia a seleção inglesa, tendo inclusive participado como titular do último Campeonato Europeu Sub-21, no ano passado. Havia a expectativa para que ele fosse convocado para defender a Grã-Bretanha nos Jogos Olímpicos de Londres.
