Muamba now breathing without medication and also moving arms and legs

Emerging reports claim that Fabrice Muamba is showing signs of improvement. The Bolton midfielder has been under intensive care since he suffered a heart attack and collapsed in an FA Cup game against Spurs. But encouraging news has been received this evening, which say the Congo-born player is speaking minimally and moving his arms and legs.
“Fabrice Muamba remains in intensive care at the London Chest Hospital, where today he is showing small signs of improvement,” a statement released by Barts, the London NHS Trust and Bolton Wanderers read. “His heart is now beating without the help of medication and he is also moving his arms and his legs. However, his long-term prognosis will remain unclear for some time. He is still critically ill and will continue to be closely monitored and treated by staff in The London Chest Hospital’s intensive care unit.”
Muamba’s fiancee, Shauna Muamba, took to Twitter to thank all those who have been sending messages. “God is in control. Please keep @fmuamba in ur prayers xx. Please keep praying for @fmuamba its really helping I can feel it xx.”
She later tweeted: “For all your messages of love thank u so much. Where there is life there is hope xx”
Fellow footballers Ashley Cole, Johan Djourou and Shaun Wright-Phillips visited the stricken star today.
