Fabrice Muamba is reported to have laughed with
friends and family at the London Chest Hospital. Muamba
has been the world-wide football news headlines after he collapsed during the FA Cup match
of Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend.
Immediate and expert treatment from the
onset were key to his current state that is ever improving. Overall, the
technology and latest safety arrangement at the stadia in ensuring the
availability of doctors and ambulance should be commended. Henceforth, it
should be a lesson to have it mandatory for all professional leagues.
Further, it was just days that Barcelona's Eric Abidal was to undergo a liver transplant. Sports medicine checks and
procedures are emerging to be very necessary and thorough. They need to be
improved and strictly implemented.
For the respect of the Muamba, let us
leave it here and wish him not only a quick recovery, but one that will see him
take to the field once again. He is already to an inspiration to many and will
continue to be in his playing and social life.
Taking heart from Nwankwo Kanu's heart
operation over a decade back, we all know it is not impossible. Our prayers
also go to the Muamba and Abidal families and friends.
God bless football players.
