Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer collapsed and fainted during Saturday afternoon's Premier League game against Bournemouth. Lockyer was taken to hospital and, according to the club, he was "responsive". The accident occurred in the second half of the game, and the game was cancelled. The game started off off very well for Luton Town, with striker Elijah Adebayo netting a goal in the third minute.
Bournemouth equalised through Dominic Solanke's goal to make it 1-1. However, after Lockyer fell to the ground, the focus of the game shifted elsewhere. The game was immediately halted and paramedics rushed to the team to conduct the game**. Lockyer was then taken on a stretcher and taken to the hospital.
It's unclear what happened, but the town of Luton gave an update on Lockyer's condition, saying he was responsive and thanking Bournemouth and paramedics for their quick response. The club has issued an apology to the fans for the cancellation of the match as the players were unable to continue the game after witnessing an unfortunate incident befalling their teammates. They also thanked the fans for applauding and supporting Lockyer during this difficult time. Lockyer had previously fainted in the play-off final against Coventry City in Luton Town, ensuring promotion to the Premier League. The 29-year-old has been a regular in the squad this season, playing in 15 of the 16 games. The club and fans now care about Lockyer and his family.
