Bournemouth-Luton abandoned after Tom Lockyer collapses

The Premier League game between Bournemouth and Luton Town was abandoned Sunday after Luton captain Tom Lockyer had earlier collapsed on the pitch.

The score was 1-1 in the 59th minute when Lockyer fell to the ground with no other player near him and players and Luton manager Rob Edwards reacted immediately to get medical attention.

Both sides left the pitch six minutes later.

«The fixture between AFC Bournemouth and Luton Town has been suspended,» Luton Town posted on X.

«All our thoughts are with Tom Lockyer at this time.»

Lockyer, 29, was carried off on a stretcher to applause from the crowd after the players had gone to the dressing rooms. Sky later reported that Lockyer was alert and responsive.

«The Premier League match between Bournemouth and Luton has been abandoned due to a player medical incident,» the Premier League’s official account posted on X.

«Our thoughts are with Tom Lockyer and all players involved in today’s match.»

Luton issued a separate statement on X, praising the medical staff involved in the incident.

«We all hope and pray for our leader and captain Tom Lockyer, who is thankfully responsive and has been taken to hospital.

«We don’t know the full extent of what happened and what the next steps are at this stage, but we thank Bournemouth and the medical staff on both sides for their immediate response, which was absolutely amazing.

«We are sorry to all supporters present that players from both sides were in no state of mind to continue with the game after seeing their much-loved teammate and friend taken off like that, and staff could not carry on with managing the game in such circumstances having had to deal with the situation.

«We thank everyone for the wonderful applause and singing of Locks’ name inside the stadium at such a difficult time.»

Lockyer collapsed during Luton’s promotion playoff final win against Coventry City at Wembley on May 27. The center-back spent five days in hospital and had an operation to fix an atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation causes the heart to beat too fast as the atria contracts in an abnormal, fast, rhythm that prevents the heart refilling with blood before pumping it back around the body again

Lockyer returned for preseason training at Luton after receiving the all-clear.
