Former Bristol Rovers player and Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer appeared to collapse during the Championship play-off final at Wembley. The deeply concerning scenes saw Lockyer fall to the ground off the ball just 10 minutes into the game, seemingly trying to get himself into position, and was unable to get up.
The exact nature of what has happened is unknown at this stage, but the 28-year-old required medical attention from the staff of both clubs before being taken from the field on a stretcher. Lockyer was seen taking oxygen as he was carried off down the tunnel and appeared to be conscious as he left the field.
Sky Sports reported that his parents also came down from the stands to be with him as he underwent further medical observations, before heading off to hospital. Sky Sports reporter David Craig said: "Tom Lockyer was taken from pitch by the medical staff both from Wembley and Luton Town, he was conscious when he was passed through the tunnel.
