Breaking news.

Luton captain Tom Lockyer has collapsed during his team’s Premier League game against Bournemouth and the players have been led off the field.

The player collapsed midway through the second half, and Lockyer had to receive medical treatment on the field.

After several minutes of being treated, he was eventually stretchered off the pitch, and was applauded by all four sides of the stadium.

Lockyer had collapsed previously during a Play-off final last May against Coventry and had to be taken to hospital. He then received heart surgery and was given the all-clear to resume playing as of last June.

The game was suspended on the 65th minute and was then consequently abandoned.
