[Archived] Fabrice Muamba

[benhben]

Doesnt sound good for the lad. Medics spent 10 minutes trying to resucitate him with a defibrulator. Taken off the pitch not breathing. Match abandoned.

Thoughts are with him and his family

[A cup of beans]

was terrible to watch that. dreadful. my thoughts are with him and his family and friends.

[Mercer]

Hope the lad pulls through.

Football totally irrelevant.

[Andy]

Doesn't look good for him to be honest, and from experience if it's a heart attack (as suspected) then the odds are against him pulling through.

But fingers crossed.

Good decision by the referee to call the match off. Health and wellbeing are always 100% more important than football.

[Mike Graham]

Good luck Fabrice. As Mercerman says, football is irrelevant.

[rovers11]

Medics can perform miracles nowadays. Let's pray they can pull off another one.

[Tom]

So horrible but it seems inevitable sadly or they would have said he had been resuscitated.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Everything crossed here, pull through son.

[ABBEY]

Wow didn't see it but hope he's ok.

[Baz]

BREAKING: Ambulance crew confirms that they got Muamba breathing again. @markchapman

From twitter, pray this isnt a sick joke

[BigUts]

Very sad. Even if he survives he will be very poorly.

Such a sad, sad thing to happen.

[Devon Rover]

Shocking and upsetting to see. Very much hope he pulls through.

Started by a 19 year old lad miles away

Seems a sick prank to get attention

[K-Hod]

Really hope he pulls through. Thoughts with his family, friends and colleagues.

No medical knowledge whatsoever but I think the time between any attack and proper medical treatment is crucial to recovery by avoiding the brain being starved of oxygen. In this case Muamba was treated very quickly and by trained medics. Lets hope that is the case here.

This is a horrible day, Antonio Puerta suffered a heart attack on field, he managed to walk himself off after recovering but a series of heart attacks caused permanent brain damaged and he died 3 days later. I am not meaning to be insensitive, but the odds are so set against Muamba. It's tragic, we will all pray for him and that he comes through strong!

[roverandout]

not only him but foe, the hungarian lad playing for benfica as well, football needs to do more to check players' health on a regular basis, too many times this has happened over the last few years.

[Baz]

Sky news - hospital says he is in a stable condition.

[roverandout]

great news

[Grabbi Graeme]

Sky News are reporting that Muamba is in a stable condition

[DE.]

Fingers crossed for Muamba, glad to hear this news.

Thing is they're probably more monitored than ever before, but some things just happen. It is fairly common to see players training/playing wearing those heart monitors.

Very glad to hear that he is stable condition, hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Great to hear he is stable, hope he makes a full recovery.

Good news, lets hope he continues to pull through.

Every minute detail of a players health is checked and monitored on an almost daily basis.

Fantastic news. Well done to the medical team at spurs and Bolton. And a huge well done to the fan who ran on to help (who apparently is a cardiologist)
