Owen Coyle praises Fabrice Muamba support

Coyle praises Muamba support

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle has praised the "incredible" support shown to Fabrice Muamba from around the football world.

Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest during Bolton's FA Cup tie with Tottenham Hotspur last Saturday.

"Every one of my colleagues in the Barclays Premier League has been in touch - the text messages, voicemail has been incredible," Coyle said.

"You always know when one of you has problems, it doesn't have to be a player.

"But somebody who works for you, it's close-knit. If one of them is hurting, they are all hurting."

Muamba remains in intensive care but is making some steady progress.
