Fabrice Muamba has "comfortable night"

Bolton Wanderers have revealed that their midfielder Fabrice Muamba had a "comfortable night" in the intensive care unit at the London Chest Hospital.

Muamba has been at the medical facility in Bethnal Green since suffering a cardiac arrest during his side's away match against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday night.

He has made progress over the past 48 hours, although he still remains in a critical condition.

"Fabrice Muamba has had a comfortable night in the intensive care unit at the London Chest Hospital, where the medical team is continuing to monitor his progress," read a statement on the club's official website.

"Fabrice's family has asked us to thank everyone again for their thoughts and prayers and for the continued messages of support, from which they draw great strength.

"To ensure the smooth running of the hospital for all patients - as well as Fabrice's need to concentrate on his recovery - they would request that he receive no more visitors for the moment, outside of immediate family and members of Bolton Wanderers Football Club."

Over the weekend it was reported that Muamba's heart stopped beating for two hours.
