Fabrice Muamba will be one of the special guests when The FA Cup with Budweiser Third Round draw takes place at Wembley Stadium this Sunday.

The former Bolton Wanderers and England Under-21 midfielder will be joined by Tottenham Hotspur legend Ledley King for the 2.40pm draw on ITV1.

Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest when Bolton played Spurs in The FA Cup Sixth Round tie at White Hart Lane back in March. 

The 24-year-old received lengthy treatment on the pitch before being rushed to The London Chest Hospital where he made a remarkable recovery.

He was eventually discharged from hospital on 16 April and was well enough to attend the 2012 FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Liverpool as a Royal Box guest at Wembley the following month.

Former Spurs skipper King spent his entire career at White Hart Lane before announcing his retirement last July, having made over 260 appearances in all competitions and winning 21 international caps for England.

King played in the rearranged FA Cup tie between Tottenham and Bolton at White Hart Lane where goals from Ryan Nelsen, Gareth Bale and Louis Saha sealed a 3-1 win for Spurs.
