Fabrice Muamba accepts his future

Fabrice Muamba says he has come to terms with the fact that he will never play professional soccer again.

Muamba admits quitting the game was hard, but the former Bolton man, who has gained huge notoriety since his collapse, concedes he has accepted the fact that he will never kick a ball in anger again.

“I’ve already adjusted myself to the idea that I’m never going to be able to kick a ball again but life brings different challenges,” Muamba told Football Focus.

Muamba, who is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo but represented England’s Under-21 side 33 times, spent a month in London’s Chest Hospital after being rushed there immediately after collapsing on the turf off the ball at Spurs’ north London home.
