Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer, who collapsed during the game and was in a dizzying situation, fortunately regained consciousness.
Luton Town said on its website on the 17th (Korea Standard Time), “Fortunately, Lockyer is showing a quick and stable recovery after being taken to the hospital.” Earlier, Lockyer collapsed and lost consciousness during an away game against Bournemouth in the 17th round of the English Premier League in the 2023-24 season at Bournemouth Vitality Stadium.
월카지노 “Our medical team determined that Lockyer had a heart attack. But when he was on a stretcher and left the stadium, he showed a good reaction,” Luton Town said. “He was then taken to a hospital and is recovering in a stable manner. He is undergoing further tests with his family.”
Lockyer started against Bournemouth on the day. Lockyer, who showed off his usual dedicated play, collapsed on the ground alone at 13 minutes into the second half. Not only players of both teams but also the referee immediately recognized the critical situation. Luton Town manager Rob Edwards immediately rushed to the ground and moved players away from Lockyer, allowing them to receive medical treatment without delay.
The game between Luton Town and Bournemouth was halted naturally as Locker was rushed to the hospital on an oxygenated respirator. Players from both teams who entered the locker room showed up again to greet fans. In particular, the Luton Town team applauded and thanked Bournemouth fans for their sincere support for Locker.
The Luton Town club also said, “Thank you Bournemouth. The immediate response was amazing,” adding, “Once again, thank you to the medical staff on both sides. I am grateful for all the support, attention, and love messages for Lockyer.”
“Watching my beloved teammate and friend leave the stadium like that made it difficult for the players of both teams to continue the game. The support team also agreed that it would be more difficult to proceed,” he said. “We apologize to the fans who visited the stadium. Nevertheless, we are grateful for the wonderful cheering of Lockyer in the stadium. Now is the time for all the players, staff, and supporters to send their love and support to Lockyer and his family.”
Meanwhile, Lockyer suffered the same situation in the playoff final for promotion to the English Football League (EFL) Championship in May. At that time, he collapsed on the field due to atrial fibrillation in the 11th minute of the first half. Lockyer, who was transferred to a hospital for surgery, suffered the same pain again just six months later.
