Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest during the Premier League clash with Bournemouth, leading to the abandonment of the match.
The club confirmed that Lockyer collapsed on the pitch but is now stable in the hospital, surrounded by his family. Luton's medical staff and both teams' medical teams provided immediate treatment, with Lockyer responsive when taken off on a stretcher.
The club expressed gratitude for the support and concern from fans. This incident follows Lockyer's previous collapse during the Championship play-off final, where he received treatment and was given the all-clear.
Lockyer will undergo further tests after his second on-field collapse this year, while Luton's players and staff decided not to continue the match after witnessing their captain's distressing incident. Manager Rob Edwards was visibly emotional as the game was called off.
The football community awaits updates on Lockyer's health and the implications for player safety protocols
