Luton captain Tom Lockyer watches promotion parade in hospital after collapsing on pitch

Luton captain Tom Lockyer was forced to watch his team's promotion parade from a hospital bed, two days after collapsing during their all-important Championship play-off final.

Lockyer had to be substituted just 12 minutes into Saturday's Wembley clash with Coventry after falling to the ground with no one around him. The Wales international centre-back, 28, received treatment on the pitch and was soon stretchered off before being taken to hospital, where he was able to enjoy watching Luton claim a dramatic penalty-shootout victory alongside his family.

By Monday, though, Lockyer still wasn't in a fit enough state to leave medical supervision and had to watch even more celebrations from his hospital bed. On social media, now Premier League club Luton shared an image of their captain sitting with his thumb up watching the Hatters' bus parade on television. The club added in a caption: "Love you, Locks."
