Some Spurs players were visibly upset at the 23-year-old’s collapse, but the club have confirmed that they have no plans to postpone their Barclays Premier League game against Tony Pulis’ men because of the incident.

A Spurs statement read: “The club can confirm that Wednesday evening’s Premier League fixture against Stoke City at White Hart Lane will go ahead as scheduled, kicking off at 7.45pm.”.

The statement continued: "The thoughts of everyone at the club continue to be with Fabrice Muamba, his family and Bolton Wanderers at this difficult time."

Spurs Striker Jermain Defoe was left in tears at seeing his friend collapse on the pitch and visited him at the London Chest Hospital in Bethnal Green yesterday to wish him well.

Defoe’s team-mate Rafael van der Vaart described the incident as an “absolute low in my career” while other players were seen praying for the former Arsenal man as he lay receiving treatment on the pitch.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp admits some of his squad may take time to get over the tragic incident, but says the club will offer any assistance they can to help them.

“What happened on Saturday to Fabrice Muamba was a shock to everyone,” Redknapp told Tottenham’s website.

“It is possible that the effects of this could hit some quicker than others and, despite these difficult circumstances, we all have to pull together and carry on with our season.

“We will be providing players with whatever support they need in order to help them move on from what has happened, while obviously always keeping Fabrice at the forefront of our minds and willing him to make a recovery.”

Redknapp also confirmed that any Spurs player who wants their heart screening will be able to do so at the club’s training ground in Chigwell today.

“Fortunately, we already had a cardiologist visiting the training ground today for routine screening, so we are able to offer any player who wishes to be tested for the purpose of reassurance an additional opportunity to be screened,” the 65-year-old said.

Van der Vaart was stood barely 10 metres away from Muamba when he collapsed and was seen praying for the midfielder on the White Hart Lane pitch while he received treatment.

Today the Dutchman recalled the event with sadness, telling his official website: “It’s almost incomprehensible what has happened. (It was) simply horrifying to see such a young player on the ground struggling for his life.

“I was standing about 10 metres from him but I didn’t see him fall. It happened behind my back, but when I turned I immediately knew things weren’t good.

“At that time all players on the field felt the panic as well. It was horrible to witness, it’s the absolute low in my football career.

“I’d like to express my sincere support to the family, team-mates and everyone who is involved with Bolton Wanderers.

“Fabrice, we’ll keep praying for you and I hope with all my heart that everything will be all right again.”
