Luton captain Tom Lockyer given ALL CLEAR after collapsing in play-off final

Luton captain Tom Lockyer has been given the all clear to return home after being taken to hospital following his collapse during the Championship play-off final on Saturday.

Lockyer, 28, fell to the floor while running back towards his own goal during the opening stages of Saturday's penalty-shootout victory over Coventry at Wembley which sensationally earned Luton promotion to the Premier League. The Welsh centre-back was taken off on a stretcher after 12 minutes before being driven to hospital, where he was well enough to watch the rest of the match.

Now he's heading home, as Luton confirmed in a statement issued on Wednesday evening: "We are so pleased to report that Tom Lockyer will be allowed to leave hospital and return home tomorrow. We would like to thank everyone for their messages of love and support for Locks and can't wait to see him back home at the Kenny with that trophy in his hands!"
