After Tuesday's game against Aston Villa was postponed in the wake of Fabrice Muamba's cardiac arrest at Tottenham last week, it was believed that Saturday's match was in doubt.

Yet the club have confirmed that after talking to the family of Muamba that they will fulfill all of their upcoming fixtures.

Bolton have since confirmed their FA Cup quarter-final tie against Tottenham will be played on March 27.

The match will take place at White Hart Lane with kick-off at 7.30pm.

Manager Owen Coyle said: "We spoke together with the players as a group this morning and I talked with Fabrice's family last night."

"Fabrice's father Marcel and his fiancee Shauna were keen that we fulfill our fixtures. Once the players knew this, there was no doubt in our minds that we would play the matches."
