The Premier League will review its medical procedures in the wake of Fabrice Muamba’s cardiac arrest while playing for Bolton Wanderers against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Muamba, 23, remains in intensive care where he spent a “comfortable night”, according to the latest update on his
condition from the London Chest Hospital and Bolton.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has questioned medicals in England but Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said on Tuesday that all issues will be looked at.

“When I saw them pumping his chest I feared the worst, but the medical assistance was just amazing,” Redknapp, whose own squad had cardiac tests on Monday, told a news conference.

“Everybody from both clubs and one or two people from out of the crowd, cardiologists came down and helped. He couldn’t have had better support and if it was going to happen it could not have happened in a better place really.”

Muamba, an England Under-21 international, was still in a serious condition on Tuesday but was breathing on his own and was able to talk to family members.

“Fabrice Muamba has had a comfortable night in the intensive care unit at The London Chest Hospital, where the medical team is continuing to monitor his progress,” a statement read.

“Fabrice’s family has asked us to thank everyone again for their thoughts and prayers and for the continued messages of support, from which they draw great strength.”

Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final was abandoned before halftime following his collapse and Bolton’s league match at
Aston Villa on Tuesday has been postponed.
