Tom Lockyer reveals why he collapsed at Wembley as he has heart surgery

Tom Lockyer says he'll be fit to resume his playing career after undergoing heart surgery in the wake of his collapse in the recent Championship play-off final at Wembley.

The Luton Town skipper went down unchallenged within the opening 10 minutes of the clash with Coventry City, and had to be carried off on a stretcher after receiving attention from both sets of medical teams.

The nature of the problem wasn't initially clear, but it's since emerged that the 28-year-old suffered an atrial fibrillation, a condition that can cause an irregular or abnormally fast heart rate.
