Muamba comeback would not surprise Coyle

Fabrice Muamba may not be dancing down the street just yet but it would not surprise Bolton boss Owen Coyle to see the midfielder back on a football pitch reasonably soon.

Muamba was released from hospital on Monday, a month after he suffered a cardiac arrest at White Hart Lane that stopped his heart for more than an hour.

A leading heart expert has predicted the 24-year-old could be back playing in six months, and Coyle said: "Knowing Fabrice and how much of a battler he is, it wouldn't surprise me if he comes back."
