Tottenham will play PL game against Stoke on Wednesday

Tottenham have confirmed that their Premier League home game against Stoke on Wednesday will go ahead as planned. Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Bolton was called off after 41 minutes following the sudden collapse of Trotters midfielder Fabrice Muamba, who is now critically ill in a London hospital after undergoing a cardiac arrest during the game.

Some Spurs players were visibly upset at the 23-year-old's collapse, but the club have confirmed that they have no plans to postpone their Premier League game.

A Spurs statement read: "The club can confirm that Wednesday evening's Premier League fixture against Stoke City at White Hart Lane will go ahead as scheduled, kicking off at 7.45pm."

The statement continued: "The thoughts of everyone at the club continue to be with Fabrice Muamba, his family and Bolton Wanderers at this difficult time."
