? Muamba has made 'great progress' but is still in intensive care
? Father and fiancee thank fans for giving 'so much strength'
The Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba faces a long road to recovery according to a joint statement released by the player's father, Marcel, and fiancee, Shauna.
Muamba remains in the London Chest Hospital, where he was admitted on Saturday night after suffering a cardiac arrest during the FA Cup quarter-final with Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
"Even though Fabrice has made great progress over the last couple of days, he is still in intensive care and still has a long period of recovery ahead," read the statement. "He has asked that you please keep him in your prayers."
It was only after talking to the pair on Tuesday that the Bolton manager, Owen Coyle, was given the all-clear for his team to resume their Premier League campaign at home to Blackburn on Saturday.
Marcel and Shauna are maintaining their presence alongside Muamba and admit they have been overwhelmed by the response to the 23-year-old's plight. "We would like to firstly thank God for answering our prayers," continued the statement. "Thank you to everyone for the love, prayers and support over the past few days.
"In particular we owe an enormous gratitude to the Bolton and Spurs medical teams for their quick reaction and the fantastic team here at the London Chest Hospital. We have been overwhelmed by all the kind messages we have received.
"The support we have had from the fans, not just from Bolton but football supporters around the world has given us so much strength. We have been particularly touched by the support from the football community globally.
"Thanks also to our family and close friends and thank you to the media for respecting our privacy during this very difficult time."
Fans in the lower tier of the Nat Lofthouse Stand at the game against Blackburn will hold up individual cards to create a mosaic to display support for Muamba. The mosaic will spell out "Muamba 6" and will be displayed across seven blocks of seating before kick off during a period of applause.
