For those asking what happened..it's difficult to say or know.
It was a Bolton goal kick and Muamba collapsed with nobody around him after seemingly having a fit of some sort.

Checked the score and saw that it was interrupted, then I saw the news. Hope he comes out of this okay.
Jeez...

This is terrible. I'm praying for him.

So, since the game has been abandoned, what does this mean? Will it be a full replay or just the remaining time?
No one saw it-- he collapsed off the ball/off-screen and when he started convulsing, they cut away immediately. Didn't show anything else, thankfully. I hope he is okay...

Roger Clarke at WHL for SSN.
Muamba was on the pitch for 10 minutes and had manual CPR carried out on him before defibrillator's were used.

Players go through extensive health medicals at various points in their career. They have all manner of scans. I doubt if he had a underlying condition that was known about he'd be a professional footballer.

Does this ever happen in Basketball and the like?
For those asking what happened:
It was a goal kick to Bolton. The camera was on the keeper. He wasn't placing the ball on the fround was instead gesturing to the middle of the field.
The camera then cut to Muamba on the ground with 2 or 3 people around him including the ref. One of the Bolton players bent to touch Muamba on the thigh in a comforting fashion but to me it looked like Fabrice was convulsing.
As soon as I saw it, the director must've done too as they immediately cut away never showing another camera shot in that area again. Medics ran on to the pitch, players walked away. Some bent down in prayer. Owen Coyle came on too. Crowd looked shocked. Both sets of fans chanting his name.

Not breathing for 10 minutes does not give much hope.

Yep I am surprised it's still going.
Jon Champion (it's him right?) just spoke very well and eloquently and it should have ended there. There is nothing more to say and no more information to share.

He most likely has a heart defect, probably this one, and those never pop up until situations like this.
Fabrica Muamba collapsed on the field, no one was near him. Many players called for medics and even Owen Coyle ran on.
6 Paramedics attempted to revive him on field with manual CPR and then used defibrillators. He was took off and is now going to hospital.

I read an interview a while ago (can't remember who it was) saying there are a lot of players in world football that have heart defects and choose to keep playing. I know Thuram and De La Red retired.

Muamba collapsed, appeared to be convulsing and medical staff spent 10 minutes attempting to resuscitate him manually and then with defibrillators. What a horrid situation, it's not looking at all good, definitely sounds like another Marc Vivian-Foe situation

It happened in a Basketball game in Portugal 3 years ago.
A lad at my work died of a undetected heart problem at the age of 24.
It's happened to NFL, NBA and NHL players through the years.

Gosh, I really hope it's good news...
I was watching the game, and I'm quite shocked...Even had some tears. The reaction of Tottenham players and fans was just beautiful.
I really wish the best for Mumaba and his friends and family.

Cheers. What kind of tests would you have to do to find heart defects like Marc Vivien Foe's before their life is threatened by them?

I wasn't watching the game, but heard almost instantly and turned ESPN on - its horrible. I feel bad for the presenters and commentary team having to fill this airtime, I'm sure they don't really want to.
I hope there's no need for black armbands tomorrow.

I'm scared that he died on the pitch but they didn't want to announce it at the time
Please be ok
