Premier League player Fabrice Muamba Collapses in Tottenham Vs Bolton game

LONDON – Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba remained in critical condition Sunday after going into cardiac arrest and collapsing during an FA Cup match at Tottenham.

The 23-year-old player's heart only "started working again" at a London hospital Saturday night, Bolton said in a statement Sunday.

The former England under-21 player fell face down near midfield during Saturday's match and medics rushed out to begin resuscitating him.

Releasing more details of Muamba's condition, Bolton said that he remained "in a critical condition" in intensive care at the London Chest Hospital's heart attack unit.

"Fabrice received prolonged resuscitation at the ground and on route to the London Chest Hospital, where his heart eventually started working," Bolton said in a joint statement with the hospital.
