Mwanasoka Fabrice Muamba akiwa na mwanawe, JoshuaSTRICKEN footballer Fabrice Muamba woke up yesterday — and managed to TALK.
Bolton Wanderers ace Fabrice, who had a cardiac arrest in Saturday's FA Cup match at Spurs, opened his eyes and spoke to fiancée Shauna Muganda as she sat at his hospital bedside.
His club yesterday said Fabrice could recognise family members and was now breathing without a ventilator.
A medical source said: "He has done extremely well considering how ill he was. But he is certainly not out of the woods.
"It is a small step on a very long road to recovery and no one can say what will happen."
Shock ... Muamba is treated by medics on pitchFabrice's friend Curtis Codrington confirmed the midfielder had spoken "minimal words in English and French, which is better than nothing".

He tweeted last night: "I'm so happy. This is so great."
Players and fans have been praying for Fabrice, 23, since he collapsed during the match, which was live on TV.
He had no heartbeat for seven minutes — and doctors fought for two hours to get his heart pumping on its own.
A joint statement by Bolton and the London Chest Hospital said:
"Fabrice is continuing to show signs of improvement. He is able to breathe independently without the aid of a ventilator. He has also been able to recognise family members and respond to questions appropriately."
His mum Gertrude, dad Marcel and Shauna, 27, were at his bedside.
