Think everyone is glad he is stable, it is very tragic that this can happen to anyone, especially someone who is a professional sportsman at such a young age.
My thoughts tonight are for Fabrice's full recovery and for his family and club colleagues. May your god, if you have one, go with you.
As much as i wish him well,and I hope to whatever god you may hold that he recovers,the honest truth is that anyone requiring CPR for such a long length of time is highly likely to have suffered brain damage due to insufficient oxygen flow.
The positive is that CPR was started very quickly by obviously very competant medical staff.
He will now be intubated in ICU and his body temperature significantly reduced (as they do for all major heart attacks) to slow the bodys metabolism down as low as possible to reduce the need for the heart to work hard.
Its also highly likely that he will have leads inserted directly on the heart attached to an external automatic defibrillator that will activate immediately there is another problem.
Regardless - this is 99% likely to be a myocardial infarction which is the permanent death of areas of heart muscle due to the coronary arteries being obstructed or 'sprung a leak' for want of a better term.
This muscle is dead and will never ever recover.
Muamba will never play professional sport again, its a question of, if he lives,which is still very much THE big question, of what quality of life will be availiable to him.
I really hope for the best, but sadly fear the worst.
Thoughts are with the players family and friends.

This is terrible news my thoughts are with his family so tragic that a lad in peak physical condition 23 years of age could collapse so suddenly what hope does that give the rest of us! I wish the lad a full recovery.
A Swans fan here from the USA wishing Fabrice a full and healthy recovery. A great player for the England under 21's and always a smile on his face like he is really enjoying it and the opportunity he has been given.Great player for Bolton too. Best wishes.
As a Sunderland fan I don't usually post on other teams boards but sometimes something happens which makes it necessary such as what happened at WHL yesterday evening. I re-iterate everything that has been said here and hope Fabrice makes a full recovery.
Too often on these boards we see much sniping and name calling between one set of fans to another and it is sometimes quite vindictive and over the top so it seems so good to me when incidents like this happen to see all the football community put their differences aside and join together as one to offer support and comfort to the club and/or individual who needs it.

Like most of the previous posters I don't usually post on other teams' boards, but sometimes circumstances demand we change our behaviour. This is a tragedy and my sincerest best wishes and thoughts are with fabrice and his friends and family at this critical time. 
Plymouth fan wishing all the best to Fabrice, all the hassles we have gone through in the past 12 months really pale into comparison with this!! Apologies to LFC fans for dissing a legend but Bill was wrong football is not more important than life or death..... Thoughts with his family, friends and fans in this difficult time.
