Fabrice Muamba's heart condition is "showing small signs of improvement" following his cardiac arrest.
A Bolton statement said: "His heart is now beating without the help of medication and he is also moving his arms and legs.
"However, his long-term prognosis will remain unclear for some time.
"He is still critically ill and will continue to be closely monitored and treated by staff in The London Chest Hospital's intensive care unit."
The midfielder, 23, has been at the hospital's heart attack centre after suffering the cardiac arrest during Saturday's FA Cup tie at Tottenham.
Bolton chairman Phil Gartside and manager Owen Coyle visited the player on Monday morning.
In a statement on the club's website, Gartside said: "The staff at the London Chest Hospital have been nothing short of exceptional and I would like to thank them all at this ongoing critical time.
"The support we had from Tottenham and our own fans was fantastic - the staff, the fans, the players and the officials at the game - it was unbelievable."
Muamba's fiancee Shauna Magunda, the mother of his son Joshua, has thanked well-wishers for their support.
"Where there is life there is hope," she tweeted on Monday.
Bolton manager Owen Coyle said: "From our end, and on behalf of the family, we certainly want to say thanks to everybody.
"Everybody is praying for Fabrice which is very important and that has been a real source of strength to the family."
Bolton's Premier League game at Aston Villa on Tuesday has been postponed.
