Fabrice Muamba waved to supporters as he returned to the Reebok Stadium for the first time since his cardiac arrest on Wednesday night.
The Bolton midfielder entered the field to a standing ovation as he was introduced ahead of Wanderers' Barclays Premier League game against Tottenham.
The 24-year-old has made a remarkable recovery since collapsing during the FA Cup tie between the same two teams at White Hart Lane on March 17.
The former England Under-21 international was followed by a TV camera as he acknowledged the applause of fans while his fiancee Shauna Magunda took photographs. Muamba arrived at the ground about an hour before kick-off and stopped to speak to TV reporters.
He told Sky Sports: "I wish I was playing, obviously my circumstances are not helping at the moment but I'm sure the boys will go out and give their best."
