FA Cup match abandoned after Bolton's Muamba collapses

The FA Cup quarterfinal match between Bolton and Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Saturday was abandoned after Bolton's Fabrice Muamba collapsed in the 41st minute.

The 23-year-old fell to the turf with no players around him and medics rushed onto the field with a defibrillator in an effort to resuscitate him.

Muamba was treated on the field for around six minutes before being taken from the pitch on a stretcher while medics continued to administer treatment.

Referee Howard Webb then abandoned the contest with players from both sides leaving the field.

According to a statement from Bolton, Muamba was taken to the hospital with no further details available.

Muamba joined Bolton in June 2008 and has been a part of England's youth system having represented the Three Lions at last year's European Under-21 Championship.
