Fabrice Muamba 'critical' after collapse in Spurs-Bolton match

Bolton Wanderers
midfielder Fabrice Muamba is critically ill after collapsing during an
FA Cup fifth-round tie against Tottenham.



The 23-year-old is being treated in the intensive care unit of the heart attack centre at the London Chest Hospital.



Medics spent 10 minutes trying to resuscitate him on
the field after he fell to the ground with no other players around him.


The score was 1-1 when the match was abandoned after 41 minutes.




"Bolton Wanderers can confirm that Fabrice Muamba has
been admitted to The Heart Attack Centre at The London Chest Hospital
where he is in a critically ill condition in intensive care," said a
joint statement from Bolton and the hospital released at 2130 GMT on
Saturday.



"No further information will be issued at this stage.
The club and hospital request that the media and public respect the
family's privacy at this time."



Medical staff gave the former England Under-21
international mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and tried to revive him with a
defibrillator.



In total six medics were treating the player, who
joined Wanderers from Birmingham in 2008 and has made 148 appearances
for the club.

Both sets of supporters chanted Muamba's
name as he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher. ESPN, who were
broadcasting the match, reported that he was not breathing as he was
taken into the tunnel.



Referee Howard Webb called the visibly shaken players
off the field after consulting with Bolton manager Owen Coyle and
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp.



After Muamba was taken to hospital, the match was abandoned.



The former Arsenal midfielder was accompanied in the ambulance by Coyle and club captain Kevin Davies.



BBC Radio 5 live's chief football reporter Ian Dennis,
who was covering the game at White Hart Lane, witnessed medics rushing
to aid Muamba.



"When the medical staff arrived his face was on the turf," he said.



"You could see them using a defibrillator and he was
[electronically] charged on at least two occasions. Everyone could see
Fabrice Muamba was fighting for his life.



"If he does pull through it will be down to the quick actions of the medics."



Soon after the incident, messages of support flooded in for the former Birmingham player.



Spurs' Rafael van der Vaart was one of those on the
pitch when Muamba collapsed. He tweeted: "Terrible what happened with
Muamba during the game. We're all praying for him."



England international Jack Wilshere, who played with Muamba at Bolton, wrote: "Hope Muamba is OK. Thoughts with him."

Middlesbrough defender Justin Hoyte, who played in the Arsenal
youth team with Muamba, said: "I seriously hope my best friend in
football is OK. Stay strong bro, please please stay strong. God is with
you remember that."



Professional Footballers' Association chief executive
Gordon Taylor said it was a "terrible thing to see for all the football
family".



"This can happen on a pitch and [it is] one of the
reasons why we insist all youngsters coming into the game have the
ability to have heart screenings to avoid this happening," he said.



Football Association chairman David Bernstein said their thoughts and prayers were with Muamba and his family.



"Fabrice has played 33 times for England Under-21s,
captaining Stuart Pearce's side during this time and is a player, and
more importantly, a person we care greatly for," he said.



"We are in contact with Bolton Wanderers over Fabrice's condition and are awaiting updates."

Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore added: "The
thoughts of the Premier League, its clubs and players are with Fabrice
Muamba, his family and Bolton Wanderers.



"We would like to praise the players, match officials,
coaching staff and medical teams of both clubs at White Hart Lane for
their swift actions in attending Fabrice.



"The League would also like to commend the compassion shown by the fans of Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur.



"We hope to hear positive news about Fabrice who is and has been a wonderful ambassador for the English game."

My heart goes out to Fabrice and his family, and I pray he pulls through. I would also like to add that I thought the Spurs fans did us proud by there reaction to this terrible tragedy, a big well done to them.
