Muamba thanks fans for support

Bolton star Fabrice Muamba has taken to his Twitter account for the first time since his cardiac arrest to thank fans for their support.

The 24-year-old midfielder, who was unconscious for three days after collapsing on the pitch during his team's FA Cup quarter-final match against Tottenham last month, has stunned medical professionals with his recovery.

He also sent a good luck message to his team-mates, writing on Twitter: "Thank u so much 4 ur prayers, love and support. Good 2 be back on twitter. Hoping #BWFC pick up 3pts today, come on lads we can do this."
