Former Arsenal and Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba has been working at Liverpool's academy.

Muamba is now taking his coaching badges.

Coach of Liverpool U21s Michael Beale said: "Fabrice came in to do a talk for the Premier League about his situation and how he progressed from a young player right through to recovering from his near-fatal accident.

"I was so taken aback by Fabrice's enthusiasm and I spoke with him. Fabrice is friends with our physio, Andy Renshaw, from his Bolton days and he is starting his coaching badges.

"We invited Fabrice in and his personality has lit up the Academy in the days that he comes in, and he was with us this week watching our Chelsea game."
