Luton captain Tom Lockyer has collapsed on the pitch and received medical treatment during his side’s Premier League match with Bournemouth on Saturday before the referee abandoned the remainder of the match. Hatters boss Rob Edwards immediately entered the pitch to stop play and ensure that the Welshman was quickly attended to.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports reported that Lockyer fell to the floor against Bournemouth and was being treated by paramedics before play was suspended midway through the second half. The defender had collapsed in the Championship play-off final last season.<\/p>\n

Tim Sherwood, who was covering the match on Soccer Saturday, claimed that Lockyer was being carried off the pitch by medics as players were taken off the field and moved into their respective dressing rooms.<\/p>\n

On X (formerly known as Twitter) Luton provided an update as they wrote: “There’s a break in play as Tom Lockyer seeks medical attention. We are all with you, Locks,” accompanied by a heart emoji.<\/p>\n

Commentator Gary Taphouse, who was working at the match, revealed that the Bournemouth staff doctor confirmed Lockyer was “alert and responsive”.<\/p>\n

Both sets of players then came back out onto the pitch after it had been confirmed that the game was suspended, applauding the supporters while Lockyer’s name rang around the Vitality Stadium, with boss Edwards visibly emotional as he was in tears on the pitch.<\/p>\n
