The condition of former India football captain Shabbir Ali, who is on 'artificial support' after a massive cardiac arrest yesterday, is improving, his son Zafar informed today.
"His condition is stable and the doctors said he is responding to the treatment. He would be kept under observation for 72 hours," Zafar, who arrived from Hyderabad after hearing the news, said.
Ali, who had played for India between 1974 and 1984, suffered a cardiac arrest at around 1.30 pm at his Allahabad Bank branch office located at Mission Row yesterday.
He was rushed to the Woodlands Hospital where he suffered another attack as he was immediately put on artificial support.
