LCH: 'No more Fabrice Muamba updates this evening'

Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba remains in a critical condition this evening as he fights for his life following his cardiac arrest in the FA Cup tie with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

The 23-year-old collapsed on the field just before the interval, and was taken to hospital with paramedics reportedly unable to get the midfielder's heart to beat on its own for almost two hours.

The statement, which confirmed there had been no change in his condition, read: "Fabrice Muamba remains in a critical condition in intensive care in the Heart Attack Centre at the London Chest Hospital. There will be no further update tonight."

Footballers have united in their support of the talented youngster.
