Coyle: Muamba making remarkable progress
Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has confirmed that Fabrice Muamba has been walking around in hospital as the midfielder continues his remarkable recovery following his on-field collapse last month, PA reported.
Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest in the first half of the Trotters' FA Cup quarter-final at Tottenham Hotspur on 17 March, with the game subsequently being abandoned. The former England U-21 international, who turns 24 tomorrow, received treatment on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher and rushed to the London Chest Hospital.
"He has done some short periods of walking down the corridor he is in as part of the unit, staying in intensive care. He is taking steps, talking and has that big smile which we love to see, so he is certainly progressing the right way," Coyle said.
