Bolton players visit Muamba to hospital

Bolton trio Zat Knight, David Wheater and Jussi Jasskelainen made an emotional visit to Fabrice Muamba ahead of tonight's match against Tottenham.

The players took time out from preparations at the team hotel to see their team-mate at the  London Chest Hospital.

Weaing their club tracksuits, the players jumped out of a black cab before a short visit to see Muamba.

 

For all the emotional issues swirling around Bolton’s return to White Hart Lane, it could have been so much worse.

There could have been no rescheduled FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham, no delegation paying a visit to the hospital.

We could, as manager Owen Coyle tactfully put it, be having ‘a different conversation’ about Muamba, after he went into cardiac arrest and collapsed on the pitch 10 days ago, and whether Bolton would replay this tie at all.
