[BRFCS News1363894574]

After collapsing with heart failure during Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final tie against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, where he required emergency life-saving treatment on the pitch, Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba, 23, is reported to have regained consciousness and to have uttered his first words since his collapse. He is still in a critical condition, however, and is continuing to have treatment and receive medical support in intensive care at the London Chest Hospital.

Bolton's Premier League fixture against Aston Villa, scheduled for tonight, has been postponed as the players and the club as a whole are still coming to terms with the tragic events that were witnessed on the pitch on Saturday. This weekend's Premier League fixture at the Reebok Stadium between Bolton and the Rovers, due to be played on Saturday, is to be confirmed later in the week.

It is shocking that a young man like Fabrice is in such a condition and the thoughts of all at BRFCS are with Fabrice and his family at this difficult time. BRFCS also extends its support to all connected with Bolton Wanderers Football Club in hoping that Fabrice is able to pull through and make a full recovery.
