Fabrice Muamba asked about his son in his first words since waking from a coma, it was claimed today.
The Bolton star turned to his fiance Shauna Magunda, recognised her, and said: 'Where's Josh?', a friend said.
His delighted fiance then tweeted: 'All your prayers are working people thank u so so much. To God be the glory.'
Last night Muamba's club confirmed he can breathe independently, recognise family members and respond to questions.
The statement came as a friend also claimed the Premier League player had spoken again.
Curtis Codrington said he had been visiting Muamba in intensive care and told reporters his friend had spoken ‘minimal words in English and French, which is better than nothing’.
As the footballer battles back after waking from a coma, his teammate and club captain Kevin Davies heaped praise on him for his remarkable fight.
The Bolton captain said he had been 'half expecting the phone to ring' with tragic news as he told of the team's sleepless nights since Muamba collapsed on the pitch on Saturday.
He told the Sun: 'We all love Fab. We respect him hugely for where he has come from. He's had a tough life. Nothing has been handed to him on a plate.'
He called Muamba 'a great role model', telling how he is 'one of the first in every morning' and one of the last to leave the gym at night.
He added:'It is not something you often see with young players. They want to get in, get out, drive their fancy cars and buy Gucci clothes. That's not Fabrice. It's refreshing to see.
Doctors at the London Chest Hospital meanwhile said that although the ‘small signs of improvement’ were welcome, they were acutely aware of the risks of being over-optimistic.
They said his heart was beating without medication and he was also moving his arms and his legs.
But at this stage it was hard to tell if the movements were triggered by an ‘irritable brain’ that has been irrevocably damaged or, hopefully, in response to carefully applied stimuli.
Cardiologists say the long-term outlook would remain unclear for some time.

A joint statement from the club and Barts and The London NHS Trust said: 'Fabrice Muamba remains in intensive care at the London Chest Hospital.
He is continuing to show signs of improvement this evening.
'He is currently able to breathe independently without the aid of a ventilator. He has also been able to recognise family members and respond to questions appropriately.
