Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech claims his personal experiences have given Bolton's Fabrice Muamba chance of survival Imagine if that had happened with Fabrice. By the time somebody managed to get him out he might have no chance. At least I was glad to see that since then the medical issues and all the structure has changed for the better. He still has a chance to survive because of all the equipment around the pitch. It's a great change because sometimes it takes only a few seconds to change a whole life and a whole career. Cech was following events in the Spurs-Bolton Wanderers game on television and saw what happened to Muamba. It's difficult. You feel for the family and the people who are close to him and also for the people and players who were on the pitch. It's really hard to see something like that. At the time I got injured nobody really knew how serious it was at first. But you could see straight away how serious that was [with Muamba]. Everybody made the right decision to stop the game. I don't think the players would have had the concentration to continue. From the start when I woke up after the operation or a few days later the football was the last thing I was thinking about. You want to try to recover your life in a normal way. Then when you know you have a chance you can think further. Hopefully he can make the first step. Cech's Chelsea team-mate, Gary Cahill, who knows Muamba well from their Bolton days, revealed a vest saying "Pray 4 Muamba" after scoring against Leicester City on Sunday. "You could see that Gary had a message and everybody at the club made a statement prior to the game,"" continued Cech. We all hope that he's going to have a chance to recover and we all have thoughts for his family. It's going to be a very difficult time for everyone close to him.
