Bolton’s midfielder Fabrice Muamba has been discharge from the hospital. The 24-year-old was “technically dead for 78 minutes” after suffering a cardiac arrest and collapsing in a game against Tottenham on 17 March and had been in hospital since then.

Muamba collapsed after 41 minutes of the FA Cup quarter-final tie with Spurs last month and was given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and 15 defibrillator shocks before he was rushed to the intensive care unit of the heart attack centre at the London Chest Hospital.

 

 

“I am naturally very pleased to be discharged from hospital,” he said.
“I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to every single member of staff who played a part in my care.”
Muamba, pictured with Dr Andrew Deaner and Dr Sam Mohiddin of the Barts Health NHS Trust on his discharge, said: “Their dedication, professionalism and expertise is simply amazing and I will forever be in their debt. I also wish to say thank you to all the many well-wishers who have sent thousands of messages of support.”
