Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba has tweeted a picture of himself in his hospital bed two weeks after suffering a cardiac arrest during his side’s FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur.
The picture shows Muamba smiling and sitting upright (twitter.com/# !/fmuamba/status/185708452457365504/photo/1).
The 23-year-old is recovering in the London Chest Hospital after collapsing on the pitch before halftime in the game at White Hart Lane.
Doctors said the player had made a miraculous recovery after being “in effect dead” for 78 minutes as they battled to restart his heart with 15 defibrillator shocks.
