The Bolton midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest while playing in their FA Cup quarter-final clash with Tottenham on Saturday.

Medical staff took two hours to get Muamba's heart working again but it has now emerged there have been further small reasons for optimism.

A joint statement released by Bolton and the hospital said: "Fabrice Muamba remains in intensive care at the London Chest Hospital, where today he is showing small signs of improvement.

"His heart is now beating without the help of medication and he is also moving his arms and his legs.

"However, his long-term prognosis will remain unclear for some time.

"He is still critically ill and will continue to be closely monitored and treated by staff in the London Chest Hospital's intensive care unit."

Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole and QPR winger Shaun Wright-Phillips both visited Muamba in hospital this afternoon.
