The FA Cup quarter-final between Tottenham Hotspur and Bolton Wanderers
was abandoned just before half-time on Saturday night after the Bolton
midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch. The 23-year-old was
taken to hospital after receiving medical treatment on the pitch and Bolton
later issued a statement saying that he was "in a critically ill condition in intensive care" at the heart
attack centre at the London Chest Hospital.
Speaking outside the hospital earlier on Sunday,
Bolton manager Owen Coyle said: "From
our end, and on behalf of the family, we certainly want to say thanks to
everybody." "Everybody is
praying for Fabrice which is very important and that has been a real source of
strength to the family.""We
know it's such a difficult time for everybody involved, our thoughts are with
Fabrice's family." Coyle had earlier stated: "It's very serious.
There's no getting away from that. God willing, he makes it through."
We
hope to hear positive news about Fabrice who is and has been a wonderful
ambassador for the English game and the league at Arsenal, Birmingham City and
Bolton Wanderers. God bless him!
