Hope the lad is okay shocking news today my thoughts go to his family and friends


Get well soon

Was horiffic to hear about. Never really known anything like it.

Sincerely hope he is ok. Supposedly, the hospital he is at have managed to stabilise his condition and have maintained his breathing, though he is still critically ill and hope for the very best for him.

Anyone know what happened as in the cause ?

Just cant believe people can just collapse and stop breathing like that, only 23.

Statement from Bolton Wanderers FC:

Bolton Wanderers can confirm that Fabrice Muamba has been admitted to the Heart Attack Centre at the London Chest Hospital where he is currently in a critically ill condition in intensive care.

No further information will be issued at this stage.

The club has requested the media to respect his family's privacy at this time.

real shame this, hope he recovers.........................

Usually in a case alike, it is some form of underlying, undiagnosed heart condition. Though I don't think we'll know until a later date.

Wishing Fabrice all the best. Thoughts with him and his family.

Respect to the medical teams of both clubs, the St John's ambulance service, the officials and the many thousand fans inside White Hart Lane tonight that did football proud.

Pray for Muamba.

get well soon xx

ive sent around a message on my liverpool facebook page and other pages have also sent it out to chant his name at start and end of game, and near half time

Hope the poor man gets well soon... Heard some pretty sick comments on Twitter... Some people are an absolute disgrace... I did put a certain one in there place though

Yeah, I'm staying away from sickipedia for the time being aswell. What some people can make from a situation like this is plain wrong.

I dont know what it was like on ESPN coverage, but I cant imagine they focused on him laying face down....

However the link I was watching online was Asian or something, they were disgusting.

I couldnt understand what they were saying, but they were having a giggle?

Saw him drop down, and thought he had cramp... then you just saw paramedics rush onto the pitch and all the players with tears immediately, I honestly thought he was dead already. They couldnt resuscitate him even in the ambulance.

Real sad.

A lot similar to the Marc Vivian Foe, right on the half way line...

No justice but at least Foe was in his 30's and not a 23 year old.

He is alright now though, but to whether he can play football again with a heart defect remains unclear.

Strange how a 23 year old guy who is said to not take drugs, not drink booze and is a professional athlete can have a heart condition... in comparison to me, 18 months younger, abuse my body constantly with all sorts of substances, eat really bad food and never do any excercise apart from alone time with the mrs... and I'm perfectly healthy? Well, maybe not perfectly haha, but Im alive and well and never had a problem really.

Bizzare considering how mind blowing the human body really is, to have the slightest imperfection seems really strange.

Get well soon FM!

Usually in these cases, it is a pre-existing undetected heart condition. In the US, loads (10-20) of high-school athletes have died under similar circumstances in football games. Usually heart defects.

He's all right you say? I've only read that he's in critical condition?

Seeing this has made me deeply upset. As i lost my friend Jay in a football game due to a heart attack. It was the 32nd minute... an he was 14 years old!!!

I really hope he pulls through this! I hope he and his family get through these troubled times. Get well soon!

Apparently Wayne Rooney went to see him today. 'It's great, he can almost string a sentence together' said Fabrice.

^^^

Stiliyan Petrov of Aston Villa has just be diagnosed with Leukaemia...

But I guess he didnt collapse on a football pitch...

Whats that got to do with this thread about the recovery of Fabrice Muamba?

Think he's trying to say that Petrov won't get half the attention that Muamba has received.

Ding ding ding.

Correctamundo.

And you claim to be a Lord, tut.
