Pray For Muamba

A couple of weeks back I had a death in the family that required some travel time. Things are settled now, so The Puddle is getting back in the scene.

Obviously the most important story in football right now is Fabrice Muamba's fight for life. The Bolton midfielder collapsed during an FA Cup match Tottenham of an apparent heart attack. I did catch this story while I was away but wasn't able to comment on it.

At the match, both sets of supporters recognized the trouble and both medical teams responded immediately. The match was abandoned and Muamba was taken to the London Chest Hospital. There it took doctors over two hours to get his heart restarted.

However, at a presser this morning the NHS and Bolton released an update on his condition and there is some reason for optimism. He's showing small signs of improvement, including moving his legs and arms, and having his heart beat without the aid of medication.

However, he remains in critical but stable condition. Hopefully all football fans will continue to keep him in their prayers and his recovery will continue.
