FABRICE MUAMBA: Complacency is holding back football when it comes to preventing and treating heart issues

It has been almost 10 years since my cardiac arrest, in a game for Bolton against Tottenham, and incidents seem to be happening more than ever and to high-profile players.

There has been Iker Casillas at Porto, the current conversation about Sergio Aguero who has had heart problems, Daley Blind at Ajax, and Christian Eriksen, of course.

We are supposed to be the fittest but it’s happening more. If it can happen to them, it can happen to anyone.

There is complacency. We have a high-profile incident, talk a lot about it and think we have solved it.
