The Bolton midfielder’s heart is now beating without the help of medication.
Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest just before half-time in Saturday’s FA Cup match against Tottenham.
“Fabrice Muamba remains in intensive care at The London Chest Hospital, where today he is showing small signs of improvement,” read the joint statement from Bolton, Barts and the London NHS Trust.
“His heart is now beating without the help of medication and he is also moving his arms and his legs.
“However, his long-term prognosis will remain unclear for some time.
“He is still critically ill and will continue to be closely monitored and treated by staff in The London Chest Hospital’s intensive care unit.”
