LONDON -- Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed during a match at Tottenham on Saturday and medics appeared to be try to resuscitate him before the match was abandoned.
The 23-year-old fell to the ground in the 41st minute with no players around him. The FA Cup game was immediately stopped.
Medics rushed onto the field with a defibrillator and treated Muamba, pumping his chest for around six minutes of treatment.
Some players appeared to be praying as fans chanted his name between periods of silence at White Hart Lane.
After Muamba was carried off on a stretcher with his chest still being pumped, all the players also left the field before referee Howard Webb abandoned the quarterfinal.
Muamba was taken to a hospital.
He was born in what was then called Zaire on April 6, 1988. His father left the country because of political turmoil and settled in England, and Fabrice joined Arsenal's youth academy in 2002.
He made his debut at age 17 on Oct. 25, 2005, in the League Cup at Sunderland, and was loaned to Birmingham in the League Championship the following season. The loan was made permanent in May 2007, and he made his Premier League debut for Birmingham in 2007-08. He joined Bolton in June 2008.
Muamba has been part of England's youth system and was a member of its team at last year's European Under-21 Championship, where he entered as a substitute against Ukraine and started against the Czech Republic.

So sad... this reminds me so much of Miklos Feher... God bless his soul.

Thoughts are with him and his family. Always a player I kept my eye on after he came out of the Arsenal academy.
|
Why......... I cant believe it....

I was watching it and he was on the pitch around 5min after collapsing but the touchline reporter stated he still wasnt breathing as he went off. It doesnt look good for him, painful day as a Bolton fan.

No they wouldnt, they would notify the family and I would guess it would be their decision to release the news.

No, to many news following it, would be leaked on the internet before they had chance to release a statement. Mark Vivene Foe was within 1hour of him collapsing

Things are done slightly less professionally in Africa. I am guessing though.
|
from redcafe:
"Oluwashina Okeleji, a reporter for the BBC World Service has tweeted that the ambulance has got Fabrice breathing."
Oh i hope hes okay.. the brain could be severly damaged from being without oxygen for so long..

Breaking news on sky is that he's stable

Damn this sucks. Even if they did resuscitate him on the ambulance it would probably be too late.
