Luton Town Captain Tom Lockyer Suffers Cardiac Arrest During Match

Lockyer discharged from hospital after having a defibrillator fitted; his future in football remains uncertain.

Tom Lockyer, captain of Luton Town, suffered a cardiac arrest during a match against Bournemouth, leading to the match being abandoned.
Lockyer was discharged from the hospital on Thursday after having an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) fitted, a device that detects and stops irregular heartbeats.
This is the second time Lockyer has collapsed during a game, the first incident occurred in May during the Championship play-off final due to atrial fibrillation, a different condition from his recent cardiac arrest.
Luton Town manager, Rob Edwards, praised the medical staff for their quick response and handling of the situation, stating that they 'saved him'.
It is currently uncertain what impact this incident will have on Lockyer's future in football.
