Bolton manager Owen Coyle has confirmed that Fabrice Muamba has been back walking again, despite still recovering from health problems.
The ex-England under-21 international collapsed on the White Hart Lane pitch with a cardiac arrest against Tottenham a fortnight ago, but the Scottish manager has stated that Muamba is making steady progress.
“He has done some short periods of walking down the corridor he is in as part of the unit, staying in intensive care,” he told The Daily Mail.
“He is taking steps, talking and has that big smile which we love to see, so he is certainly progressing the right way.
“My chairman Phil Gartside was there on Wednesday with our club doctor Jonathan Tobin, and our club chaplain Phil Mason will be there today to continue the support from the football club.
“A couple of players have been sending him messages and we are keeping in touch. It has been great to see that smile and he continues to get better.
“We have to stress that he still has a long way to go, but the improvement has been remarkable and long may that continue,” the head coach concluded.
