Bolton manager Owen Coyle today said the club would be delighted to receive a visit from Fabrice Muamba.
Coyle has been careful not to speculate on whether Muamba will play again after the midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest during his side’s FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham last month but insists he will be welcomed by team-mates first and foremost as a friend.
“When Fabrice and his family, in consultation with the medical side, feel he’s up for a visit we’d welcome him with open arms,” said Coyle. “We’d have the banners and the bunting up.
“To see him in the flesh at the training ground or at the stadium would be fantastic. They would see how much he has improved since that horrible day.”
