Club captain collapsed during playoff final victory at WembleyDefender in hospital under precaution and will undergo tests
Luton captain Tom Lockyer has thanked medical staff for their “swift and thorough response” after collapsing during his side’s Championship play-off final victory against Coventry.
The defender fell to the floor while running back during the match and received treatment before being carried off the pitch on a stretcher. The game went to penalties after Jordan Clark’s opener was cancelled out by Gustavo Hamer to finish 1-1 after extra time, and the Hatters secured Premier League football for next season with a 6-5 victory on penalties.
