Fabrice Muamba says his three sons have inherited faulty gene that led to heart condition before his on-pitch collapse

Fabrice Muamba has revealed all three of his sons have inherited the faulty gene which led to him developing a heart condition before his on-pitch collapse having suffered a cardiac arrest.

On March 17, 2012, Muamba dropped to the ground during the FA Cup quarter-final between Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspurs after his heart stopped. It took medics an excruciating 78 minutes to resuscitate the then-23-year-old.

Now, in an interview with HELLO! magazine, the 33-year-old has revealed all three of his children inherited the same gene behind the horrifying collapse.
