Luton Town captain and Wales defender Tom Lockyer will leave hospital on Thursday, five days after he collapsed at Wembley during the Championship play-off final.
Lockyer has undergone a series of tests to try and establish what happened early in the match when he appeared to lose his footing and couldn't get back up. Medics from Luton and rivals Coventry tended to him as his concerned family rushed from the stands to be with him.
He was taken from the field on a stretcher and immediately went to hospital.
A statement from Luton on Wednesday night said: "We are so pleased to report that our central defender and multiple player of the year Tom Lockyer will be allowed to leave hospital and return home tomorrow.
"The 28-year-old has been undergoing a series of tests at the Cavendish Clinic in London since collapsing in the early stages of Saturday’s Championship play-off final at Wembley and being carried off on a stretcher.
"Tom was well enough to celebrate the penalty shoot-out win with his family at his bedside, as seen in images that have gone global since the historic Hatters victory over Coventry City.
"The Welsh international has been a frustrated patient ever since, but has completed all the necessary medical tests and observations to be allowed home for a period of rest before the start of pre-season training, which he will be fit to take part in.
"We would like to thank everyone for their messages of love and support for Locks, who has had a season to remember and proudly led the team out on Saturday, with his team-mates completing the job for him."
