Fabrice Muamba collapses on pitch during FA Cup match

Tottenham's FA Cup game against Bolton Wanderers has been abandoned after Trotters midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed and stopped breathing.  Medics spent 10 minutes trying to resuscitate the 23-year-old on the field before the players were taken off by referee Howard Webb.  BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis says the English midfielder is fighting for his life.  The score was 1-1 when he collapsed with no players close-by on 41 minutes.  Medical staff gave Muamba mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and tried to revive him with a defibrillator. In total six medics were treating the player.

Both sets of supporters chanted Muamba's name as he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher. ESPN reported that he was not breathing as he was taken down the tunnel.  The former Arsenal midfielder has been taken to hospital.  Referee Webb called the visibly shaken players off the field after consulting with managers Owen Coyle and Harry Redknapp.  Minutes later the match was abandoned.  Soon after the incident, messages of support flooded in for the former Arsenal man.

England international Jack Wilshere, who played with Muamba at Bolton, tweeted: "Hope Muamba is okay. Thoughts with him."

Middlesbrough defender Justin Hoyte, who played in the Arsenal youth team with Muamba, said: "I seriously hope my best friend in football is OK. Stay strong bro [sic] please please stay strong. God is with you remember that."

Muamba joined Wanderers from Birmingham City in 2008 and has made 130 league appearances for the club.  Owen Coyle and club captain Kevin Davies were in the ambulance accompanying Muamba to hospital.  A Bolton spokesman said: "Fabrice Muamba has been taken to hospital following his collapse. There is no further information at this time."

Pretty much my feelings and thoughts right now too.

Terrible news...

Puts the game into perspective, football is just that a game. I hope more than anything this weekend that the lad pulls through.

  BBC Radio 5 live chief football reporter Ian Dennis at White Hart Lane: "When the medical staff arrived, Fabrice Muamba's face was on the turf. They quickly turned him over and within seconds were putting white pads and defibrillator on him. It was quite clear to everyone that he was fighting for his life. If he does pull through it will be down to the quick actions of the medics."

Best wishes to him, his family and his club.

Horrendous thing to happen. Feel abit taken back by it.

Keep fighting, Fabrice. YNWA.

Thank goodness for that, hope he pulls through and everything will be ok for him.....

Forget what I said before, it was all over twitter he was breathing again, but the original tweet has since been removed. Sorry!

I just feel a little bit sick in the pit of my stomach at the moment.

I really hope the lad pulls through.

I feel exactly the same , can't think of anything else tonight . Was watching the match on TV and the looks on players and fans faces made you realise this was very very serious.
Whatever God you pray to , say a prayer for Fabrice tonight .
Please God he pulls through OK.

Just said a prayer for him and his family, hope things turn out ok.

Horrific events, wish the lad all the very best and hope he can find the strength to come through the nightmare.

My thoughts are with Fabrice and his family.  Really hope he pulls through.

Thoughts are with him and his family. Hope he's okay.

Never want to see things like that happen.

Saying he is in stable condition in the hospital now.

YNWA, I hope to hear our fans tomorrow singing his name.

SSN reporting that the hospital he has been taken to have just released a statement saying that Fabrice is in a stable condition.

Sky News claiming the hosptal where he was taken have said he is in a stable condition.

Some good news at least.

Official reports from the hospital that he is stable
