Bolton Wanderers announce Fabrice Muamba has retired from professional football following extensive consultations with leading cardiologists
"Since suffering my heart attack and being discharged I have remained positive in the belief I could one day resume playing. As part of my on-going recovery, last week I travelled to Belgium to seek further medical advice from a leading cardiologist."
"But the news I received was not what I had hoped and it means I am now announcing my retirement from professional football."
