Muamba turns 24 in hospital

Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba, who suffered a cardiac arrest while playing at Tottenham Hotspur last month, is continuing to make steady progress, the club said on the player's 24th birthday.
A joint statement issued on Friday by Bolton, Bart's Hospital and the National Health Service Trust was encouraging about Muamba's recovery following the incident at White Hart Lane on March 17 when his heart stopped beating on its own for 78 minutes.
"Fabrice Muamba continues to make strong and steady improvements and remains in the intensive care unit of the London Chest Hospital," the statement said.
